My friend, I cited a West Point (American Military) analysis in 2008 with heavy citations and reviewing national defense questions. Your article is 2006 and using a source that's objectively happy to push any reason for toppling the current extremist Iranian regime.

I saw that. Freeh knows what he is talking about. Believe me or don’t.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_F... I'm not seeing a history replete with the best of ethics here. It's also notable that "within a few days we had confessions" in the Bush era of torture is not a convincing argument. I'll stick to a well cited West Point counter-terror analysis.

Khobar happened under Clinton. What I don’t get is why you are covering for a regime that chants “Death to America” since its inception? These attacks happened. They were directed by Iran. Why defend them?

Khobar happened under Clinton. Freeh's claimed confessions (cited in your article) happened under Bush2. I'm not covering for anyone, I'm asking folks to think critically about the nuances of things. Khamenei, the Guardian Council, IRGC, and Basiji are evil, full stop.

But if we're going to stop the next group of bad political actors from walking in and taking over a revolution (as Khomenei did to the 1979 Revolution), we have to understand the chain of grievances that haunt the world. Making it black and white only serves to neglect justice.
