As a CIA spy, I saw in Iran what the West cannot ignore
We must defend freedom in Iran soon – or deal with nuclear-armed fanatics later.
By Reza Kahlili

Los Angeles

Today the West must make one of the most important decisions of our era. Will we defend what remains of democracy and freedom in Iran, or will we succumb to Tehran's murderous government?

It's a question that goes to the heart of our own security. Iran is a thugocracy of Islamic mullahs, and it will soon have nuclear arms. Any misconception about the intentions of fanatics with nuclear bombs will have grave consequences.

I know because I spent years alongside them as a CIA spy working under cover in Iran's Revolutionary Guards starting in the 1980s.

The Guards Corps was set up as a check on the regular Army and to serve and secure the Islamic revolution. Thirty years of Western appeasement hasn't stopped them from terrorizing the West – or Iranians. Today, with Tehran's leaders caught in a power struggle over the June 12 election and the legitimacy of the regime, the Guards, led by zealots, are calling the shots.

The Guards – and the hardliner clerics they protect – are vulnerable, however. This summer's grass-roots uprising has put them on the defensive. A strong Western hand now could tip the balance.

We don't have a moment to lose. If we can't upend the Guards now, how can we do so once they have nuclear bombs?

Washington could lead the way by refusing to recognize President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who earlier today took the oath of office for his second, four-year term. Instead, the United States should demand the freedom – and the freedom of speech – for all who've been arrested and tortured in recent weeks. And we should toughen sanctions to include cutting off Iran's gasoline supplies.

The people of Iran are desperate for a show of support from the West. By standing with them, we can uphold our duty to defend democracy and take a stand for the security of the free world.

Such a stand would mark a radical policy change. For the past 30 years, the West has tried very hard to appease Iran's mullahs.

In the 1980s, I helped make known a secret pact between Iranian mullahs and some European governments. Thirsty for Iranian oil, the Europeans gave the go-ahead to Iranian agents to assassinate opposition members abroad without interference, as long as European citizens were not at risk. Hundreds of dissidents were gunned down.

The US has also been guilty of trying to appease the mullahs. Almost every administration after the 1979 Iranian Revolution has tried in vain to create better relations through back channels. Yet those efforts haven't stopped Iran's rulers from arming terrorists, taking hostages, and suppressing their own people.

The brutal killing of Iranians by their leaders that we're seeing today is nothing new. Ruling clerics have been killing political opponents, along with their families and friends, for 30 years – but inside prison walls.

I've been inside those walls and I've seen teenage girls who were raped before execution so they were no longer virgins and therefore, according to their Islamic beliefs, couldn't go to heaven. I've seen hundreds hung on cranes. I've seen women and men lined up in front of firing squads after being severely tortured; their families would be forced to pay for the cost of the bullets. Western officials were quite aware that this was happening, but they let their thirst for oil blind them.

Today, however, the screams of Iranians young and old calling for democracy and freedom cannot be ignored. The post-election uprising has started the countdown of the end of the thugocracy in Iran. This is the desire of the Iranian people. It should be our desire, too.

So far, the West has kept fairly quiet about Iran's unrest. President Obama and others say they don't want to give credence to Tehran's claims of a Western conspiracy behind the protests. And by not ruffling the regime's feathers, they hope to negotiate improved ties and resolve the nuclear impasse.

But how do you negotiate with a government composed of terrorists?

Right now, the Revolutionary Guards have near-complete control of Iran. This terrorist organization is expanding its power throughout the Middle East. Its ultimate goal is to bring the demise of the West.

With the help of North Korea, the Guards are working on long-range ballistic missiles in tests that are concealed by their space project.

The Guards have also accelerated their production of Sejil, solid fuel missiles, and are working nonstop to improve the range of those missiles. Today they can strike Tel Aviv, Riyadh, US bases in Iraq, and the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. Their goal is to be able to target all of Europe.

The Guards are also working on their nuclear bomb project in facilities unknown to the West.

Iran's defense minister, Mostafa Najjar, who oversees the development of missile and nuclear technology, was in charge of the Revolutionary Guards forces in Lebanon that facilitated the attack on the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut on Oct. 23, 1983, killing 241 US servicemen.

The current deputy defense minister, Ahmad Vahidi, who oversees the distribution of arms and missiles to terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas, was the commander of the Guards' elite Quds Forces and the chief intelligence officer of the Guards in charge of the terrorist activities outside of Iran.

Mr. Vahidi is currently on Interpol's Most Wanted List for the attack on the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires on July 18, 1994 that killed 85 and injured more than 100.

Many Iranian officials have Interpol arrest warrants, and even supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has been recognized in courts as one who has ordered such acts.

Fanatic radicals such as these are incompatible with a free Iran. This is the best opportunity in 30 years to change course and stop succumbing to thugs. Will we seize it?

Your ignorance of the way the CIA/Covert ops works is astounding. You believe that we don't spend 400 million in plenty of countries? Does that mean we would have invaded all of them if McCain got elected?

As far as simplistic sound bites.. you are the liberal and by your own account, you don't think. I bet it's a pretty safe bet you are far easier to convince something is the way it is than I do. I tend to question everything.

Totalitarian regimes don't respond to popular riots with "well... ok, we'll knock it off with the brutal repression". They respond with brutal repression, that's Mr. Kahlili's point. A bunch of kids with green scarves and rocks need somebody's help to beat the guys with Kevlar and tanks.

Also worth stressing is that this is not a democracy vs. theocracy issue. The people revolting by and large like the system of government, just not the particular way it's being implemented right now.

Not in regards to operations. Pipelines into SAD don't really count.

The CIA does have a great working relationship with SOCOM in general,which did not include Marine Force Recon because they believed most Marines were "Special operations capable". This changed very recently though with the Marines fielding their own spec ops unit, which did not go over very well initially.

As for the second part, I was Army RSTA, I wasn't a Marine. I did save their ass in Fallujah though (kinda kidding ;))

I guess it depends on what you mean by operations. You're not likely to see CIA ops in a traditional military formation. Marine Recon is trained for conventional military operations, such as Direct Action and long ranged recon. They definitely are highly trained but they don't receive the same type of training that you would get in places like Special Forces which would be kinda essential for stuff like covert missions (Language, immersion, etc).

Then again, since I wasn't marines I wouldn't actually know that beyond my own personal experiences with them, which included being assigned to 1st Recon in Anbar.

I would conjecture to say that they probably share a lot of information and collaborate on a lot missions though.

I'll be damned if I can remember where I saw that.

Force recon marines were a part of that group though I think it was mainly army special forces and navy seals.

On topic though ... it's the Christian Science Monitor siding with something patently anti-Islamic/Iranian. If one doesn't automatically become suspect of the nature and intent of the article/advertising ... one should probably get out more.

It's not our responsibility, it's not our problem, and it's certainly not our obligation.

So you wouldn't be worried if Iran had nuclear weapons? It's a very precarious situation. Israel is NOT going to stand for Iran having nukes. If Israel attacks Iran however, one of the first things Iran would probably do in response is to heavily mine the straight of hormuz. The straight is one of the most strategically important locations in the world. Around 17 million barrels of oil are shipped through it every day. If Israel attacks Irans nuclear facilities it puts 20% of the worlds shipments at risk. Can you imagine the damage that would do to economies? The US is one of the only countries that could prevent this from happening, military wise.

Although I am a Jew, you'll find me pretty unsympathetic to arguments that insist on close ties with Israel, or arguments that involve Israel. Part of the problem we have in the region stems from being the big brother over the shoulder of Israel. Israel's problems tend to stem from the same.

That being said, Israel isn't likely to let Iran get that far without preemptive strikes. They have done so in the past with other countries ... they'll do it to Iran. As far as which country has the superior navy, well we would find out if Iran ever attempted to mine the Straight, though Israel wouldn't be the only nation involved in the prevention of the attempt as it would be a global disruption.

Even though the US has had some significant global image improvements, our presence and interference in the region is still pretty damned toxic. How many problems will we create by involving ourselves in an Iranian conflict even with the best intentions?

I find the whole mid-east peace thing to be the greatest work of comedy in the last three hundred or so years. Since the peak of the inquisition any ways...

Something should be done, but because of the shear number of people and powers that have meddled with it, anything done now will have serious repercussions. So we, being the world, now are f'd if we try to "fix" it and we are damned if we don't. LOL

Edit: Then again I'm kind of hoping that things get a lot worse before anyone goes all chivalric and falls on their sword to get things going in the right direction. I expect one hell of a show, and will be sorely disappointing if I don't get it.

I never brought it up until people started making shit up about it.

In Daniel's defense security clearance investigations and the like are truly retarded about stuff on the internet.

It actually wasn't Ranger1, there was another letter. I figure you already know this, you're a smart guy and if you typed up the whole name then the plotters could link that with Daniel's current handle and really threaten national security.

I didn't want to be reported to the White House.

Consider yourself on notice.

Actually ... you have the wrong person. You're never on the mark though so it's understandable. Keep it going though, you've been THE definitive source of all things ignorantly comical from the get go.


Oops? Seriously Shit4Brains.. please stop. You aren't even making this fun for me... I feel like I'm picking on the retarded poster again and while it's fun at first... even I start to feel a tiny bit guilty of doing it.

Actually he has the right person.

RangerD1 became Daniel. One of the things he spoke about when explaining his name-change (probably in response to much laughing and pointing at NevermindIslashedmywristsDrayal's latest name change) was that he needed to change his PC name in case of security flaws as he was on active service at the time.

Of course PB is exaggerating it, but it's still funny just the same.

Must be the alzheimers setting in? Maybe your Depends is so full of your shit that you don't have enough of it remaining between your ears?

Remember in the post above when I said I feel a tad bit guilty for picking on you, the retarded poster?

I lied

Is this cyclical for you? Do you just lack even the most basic notion of creativity that you have to repeat insults?

I mean it was pretty damned funny when Lat had to fill you in on a definition ... but now you're just throwing it around like you understood what it meant in the first place.

Your collective posting history could be gathered and then bound ... but no one would know how to label it. Tragedy, failure, humor (sick humor like poking a caged tard with a stick until he gets all foamy at the mouth) ... it's a mystery in and of itself.

Is this the summary of you as an individual? Regurgitation that lacks substance and an inability to even defend or substantiate even a minor asinine reprint of something you claim as a position?
