#3 Frank...my thoughts exactly.

The Belgian Senate has clarified that the signing of a petition by some Belgian senators in support of the Iranian terrorist group MKO was a private initiative which does not express the official position of the chamber.

"It is not the senate as a whole adopting the text of the petition. It was a private initiative of some senators," an information official at the senate, speaking on condition of anonymity, told IRNA.

The official noted that not all the senators [just the majority 41 out of the 71] had signed the petition which called on the EU to remove the MKO from its list of terrorist groups.

Well...I'm glad they've stopped pretending.
