Is Khatami a criminal?


Mohammad Khatami has presided over the imprisonment, torture and murder of too many innocent people to be allowed to leave the US as a free man. He has to answer for his deeds:

1. Imprisonment and torture of Jews for trying to leave the country [ref].

2. Clandestine development of nuclear weapons in breach of NPT.

3. Political and material support for terrorism: "Hezbollah is like a shining sun which warms up all oppressed Muslims".

4. For presiding over the torture and beating to death of the Canadian-Iranian journalist Zahra Kazemi and leaving the executers unpunished [ref1, ref2].

5. For the imprisonment resulting in murder of other political prisoners [ref]

6. For public beatings of 450 people including women and children [ref].

7. For public stonings to death [ref].

Perhaps he is innocent and others bear responsibility for at least some of these crimes. As a former president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who presided over and defended unimaginable atrocities, he has a case to answer. He is accused of crimes against humanity.

These accusations (assuming that they're true) seem rather petty compared with Mr. Bush and his gang of criminals who have already established a genocidal Christian theocracy. See here and here.

Ah yes. The old moral equivilance argument. Are the liberals still peddling that shit? Isn't there a 9-11 Truth Commission meeting you could be attending right now Professor?

Bring back the old trial methods used in the medieval era, after all these muslims want to turn back time don't they? Dunk him in a pond, if he dies he's innocent, if he survives he's guilty.

To Prof Kurgman, btw, have you been hitting the sauce bottle again?

Referencing the Dailykos to support your point, Professor? LOL. You are hilarious. Sort of like doing a PhD thesis using Wikipedia as the sole reference.
