#1 sounds more like we're trying seperate out any one with proven terrorist activities to make the remainder of MEK more useable.

#2 LH shoots and scores!
Upon arrival here Rumsfeld issued a brief written statement on an Iranian opposition militia, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, or MEK, that is present inside U.S.-controlled Iraq. The organization is on the U.S. government's list of terrorist organizations, and some have raised questions recently about why the militia remains inside Iraq and has not been disarmed by U.S. forces.
"MEK members in Iraq are presently contained within existing camps where they are being screened for possible involvement in war crimes, terrorism or other criminal activity," Rumsfeld said. He said the United States will not allow the MEK to reconstitute in Iraq as a terrorist organization.
