Doesn't this make the CIA a terrorist organization?

If financing and helping terrorism around the world is sufficient to classify oneself as a terrorist organization despite that organization being an agent of a sovereign entity, then it seems also appropriate to classify Mossad and the CIA as terrorist organizations. In the late 1970's, the government of Israel through Mossad, directly and indirectly financed Hamas in hopes of counterbalancing Fatah's influence in the occupied territories. As noted by Ami Isseroff: "the Israelis deliberately promoted the Islamists of the future Hamas by helping them turn the Islamic University of Gaza into a base from which the group recruited activists – and the suicide bombers of tomorrow." Similarly, the United States, throughout the 1960s to the present day, supported guerrilla movements, many of which targeted civilian populations to carry out their political agenda. The CIA set up Ansesal and other networks of terror in El Salvador, Guatemala (Ansegat) and pre-Sandinista Nicaragua (Ansenic). The CIA created, structured and trained secret police in South Korea, Iran, Chile and Uruguay, and elsewhere, organizations responsible for untold thousands of tortures, disappearances, and deaths.

I have no complaints against listing the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization. My complaints are based upon the hypocrisies behind our foreign policy. If we're going to condemn military agencies as terrorist organizations for their support of terrorism, then for the sake of credibility look beyond the borders of the Middle East. Because this certainly doesn't create a standard for the US itself can meet.

About time!

by mrclass on

Sepah pasdaran is a collection of thugs, thieves, isalmo fascists, opportunists, low life scum’s who for the past twenty eight years have sucked the life out of people in Iran. Fear, torture, execution, bullying, stealing money has been trade mark of sepah. they are the Gestapo of this regime pure and simple. On top of that hey are involved with all the external terrorists organizations such as hamas, hezbolha and Islamic jihad , six and half dozen other terrorists organizations out there. Comparing CIA with Sepah is comparison between apple and oranges but that’s another discussion another time…

The Reason US plans to lable

by SepahPasdar on

The Reason US plans to lable IRGC as a terrorist group is to weaken Iran's infrastructure. As you might know IRGC is the Halliburton of Iran. Besides its military side, it builds dams, roads, bridges for Iran and recently for other countries in the Americas/Asia.
