#1 After some reflection, I figure this is a show front of people angling for position should the Black Hats be toppled. I see nothing useful in what Sazegra does or says. Talking to the NY Sun is both stupid and dangerous if one is involved in the real opposition. Sitting in London is not opposing and calling upon America or whomever to impose sanctions "not against the Iranian people, but against the officials of the regime" (a neat feat, indeed) is a F**kin Duh worthless waste of newsprint / pixels.

If there was anything substantive about this clown, he'd be talking to Porter Goss, not the NY Sun, and we would know nothing about it.

I suspect this is merely a self-serving bit of PR fluff for stature... his opposing days are over, and he's hoping for a slot after the Mullahs are gone. Just my take.

you may be right to some extent but remember that:

1. exile groups haven't got much they can do beside this kind of thing

2. even a pseudo united front against the Mullarky may lead to a real united front-- the lack of a real united front among the exiles was a big handicap in Iraq

3. the exile groups are already providing material support for the in-country opponents of the mullarky

4. even a pseudo united front can get the mullarky in the MSM better than no pseudo united front --- and bad press is something that the mullarky really, really, really, hates

#3 What would really work is to Exterminate the Mullahs at the top of the food chain? Can they do it? H-m-m-m!

#4 Looks to me like the public face of Goss getting his ducks in a row (or preparing to) over there.
