LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The Iranian regime is notorious for cracking down on dissent inside Iran. Now Mahmoud Ahmadenijad and the mullahs are targeting dissidents in other countries -- including those in the United States.

Homayoun told CBN News that the terrorist charge has made his life extremely difficult.
"I received a notice from my bank in California letting me know about the INTERPOL arrest warrant," he explained. "After a few days, they closed ...

>We need to really shine the light on this one.
Yes… Because we all know what happens when one goes defensive… We need to stay in the offense, and stay organized enough to challenge this Admin with several subjects at a time…
Cram the issues… And this is one of them…
PS: We don’t have media coverage…But hey, only Holder bases policy derived from the Media...
This is why Obama gave INTERPOL incredible power in the USA.
Obama is a plant against America. (Is anyone surprised?)
What incredible power?
AFAIK all Interpol is is a liaison organization between national police forces, an information exchange.
They have no actual police powers as such.
This was obvious from before he was even nominated. WHy can’t people see this?
