Pjak are not kurds, they are not even Iranians, they are mercenaries and could be fighting the USA in a few years,,, remember the al-keida ??
Anon,
If you believe PJAK militants are mercenaries coming from different countries, hired for pay, I disagree.
Notwithstanding their political views and their terrorist actions, they are indeed Kurdish-Iranians, supported by foreign powers.
PJAK is the latest of a long line of Kurdish-Iranian organizations who have taken arms against the central government in Tehran.
I am absolutly certain about the fact that should anyone of Iranian descent, ever to take arms against Iran and Iranians regardless of any central Govt. (they are always there)
then their Iranian souls are dead and buried (like the MKO, PJAK, Jundollah) might take another 5 years of even a decade.. but they shall pay.... Iranian blood is priceless, and blessed.
Iraqis spilled it and see how they are suffering ...MKO killed Iranian soldiers... look how cornered they are...
PJAK is no one, just a bunch of zealots and mercenaries... they will fail too.. dont place your bets on them Mr Uskowi.
Why are you quite about Roxana Saberi, she was a low level spy but a spy nevertheless, maybe nowshe will work full time for AIPAC or one of the Zionist Think Tanks. Obviously, she did break the law but I guess Iran is anxious to get moving diplomatically so they let her go. Now, they expect the US to reciprocate and be nice. Do not count on it.
Dear Anon,
I was not quite on Saberi; I opposed her arrest from the beginning. The government handling of her case was pathetic. First, they arrest her for purchasing a bottle of wine, then they charge her with working without permit, then they charge and convict her with espionage and sentence her to eight years in prison, at Evin. Then Vali Nasr goes to Tehran, and yet again her charges are changed, this time to unauthorized possession of a classified document, and she is released from prison. Do they expect anyone with the right mind to believe what they are saying?
On the latest charge, unauthorized possession of classified document: the government is saying that she obtained the document while consulting with an unidentified government-related project. Why did the government use a foreigner who could not have had any security clearance on a project that handled classified material? Why the government did not go after the person/s who gave her the document? Aren’t they the main culprits? Their handling of this case is simply pathetic, signs of disarray within the security and judicial organs.
Uskowi is correct. Iranian govt was just flip flopping on this Saberi case. They were doing so because they're currently "dancing" with US govt and jockeying for advantage/favors/etc.
Why the government did not go after the person/s who gave her the document? Uskowi, do not under estimate your intelligence services. Read in a few weeks time and see some cell being broken up, trust me!
So turns out Roxanna was a bit naughty, and there was a slight something to the spying charges after all. Well, had she done this in the US she would be in jail right now. There are several US statutes prohibiting accesss of national security information, intercepted communications or codes (18 U.S.C. §§793, 794, 797, 798 and 952); statute prohibiting the unauthorized disclosure of restricted data (42 U.S.C. §2277); the Intelligence Identities Protection Act (50 U.S.C. §421 et seq.); and Internal Security Act (50 U.S.C. §783). The Iranians could have dealt with this better if the true nature of the facts were provided to the media in greater detail, and allowed a more fair trial where she was allowed to defend herself.
there are many more Roxana Saberis in Iran and , who knows may be they are being used by Iran to get the information they want the US to believe out.
