Former Penn. Gov. Rendell Subpoenaed for Ties to Iranian "Terrorist" Group 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------



Former Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell has been subpoenaed by the U.S.
Treasury Department over his ties to the Iranian opposition group
Mujahedeen Khalq or the MEK. Although the group has been designated as a
terrorist organization by the State Department for 15 years, a number of
prominent former U.S. officials have been paid to speak in support of
the MEK. The list of officials include: two former CIA directors, James
Woolsey and Porter Goss; former FBI Director Louis Freeh; former
Attorney General Michael Mukasey; former Homeland Security Secretary Tom
Ridge; former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani; and former Vermont
Gov. Howard Dean.
