"Our effort to support freedom in Iran is ... weak and inconsistent at its very best," says Frances Townsend, former national security adviser to President Bush for homeland security and counterterrorism. Removing the MEK from the terrorist list, she adds, would send Iranians the message that "our policy goals are a reflection of our values."

It would also end a situation where Washington and Tehran are the last two governments designating the MEK a terrorist organization, Ms. Townsend says. The Clinton administration first added the MEK to the list in 1997 on evidence that the organization was responsible for American and Iranian deaths -- and in the hopes of opening the way to dialogue with Tehran.
