Senator Corzine (MF Global deposits thief): 2006 December 15,

4.  (C) Sneh charged that the USG sent the wrong signal to
the Iranian government by closing the Washington office of
the Mujahadeen e-Khalq (MEK / MKO).  Sneh contended that the group no
longer merits inclusion on the U.S. list of terrorist
organizations because, he said, it had committed no terrorist
acts since killing Americans in the 1970s.  The "easiest way"
to send a strong signal to the Iranian government that the
USG is serious about its demands would be to remove the
terrorist designation from the Iranian opposition group and
allow it to reopen its Washington offices.  He said the group
has strong popular backing in the U.S. and Europe, having
brought 15,000 supporters to Washington for a demonstration.
Sneh said that he raised this issue with then-Under Secretary
Grossman when Sneh was last in Washington.
