It is not rare to see Mr. Richardson involved on it

WASHINGTON – Former top-ranking U.S. officials on Saturday urged the Obama administration to take an Iranian dissident group off its list of terrorist organizations, saying the move would raise pressure on Tehran at a time when authoritarian regimes are tottering across the Middle East.
Several ex-officials called on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to rescind the 14-year-old designation of the Mujahedeen-e Khalq Organization, or MEK, as a terrorist group.
Ex-New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, U.N. ambassador during the Clinton administration, said the "thirst for freedom and democracy" in the Mideast and the failure to win concessions on Iran's nuclear program had built support for the MEK in Washington. He said the designation "makes no sense at all" and predicted it would likely be lifted soon.
