In court papers, Assistant U.S. Attorney Harry A.

NIAC trying to change colors in front of our eyes

by seannewyork on

so funny that Trita is now trying to act like he has been on the side of the people.  He was always against change.

But the position he has had is now an embarassment.

No wonder NIAC has changed its position from "not being a human rights organization" to defenders of Iranians who are fighting this ugly regime.
