WHAT'S IT REALLY ALL ABOUT?
"Seymour Hersh has another speculative article out, in which he mentions Kurds, from The New Yorker:In the past six months, Israel and the United States have also been working together in support of a Kurdish resistance group known as the Party for Free Life in Kurdistan. The group has been conducting clandestine cross-border forays into Iran, I was told by a government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon civilian leadership, as “part of an effort to explore alternative means of applying pressure on Iran.” (The Pentagon has established covert relationships with Kurdish, Azeri, and Baluchi tribesmen, and has encouraged their efforts to undermine the regime’s authority in northern and southeastern Iran.) The government consultant said that Israel is giving the Kurdish group “equipment and training.” The group has also been given “a list of targets inside Iran of interest to the U.S.” (An Israeli government spokesman denied that Israel was involved.)
I love the part about PJAK being "Kurdish tribesmen," especially since there is nothing as anti-tribal or anti-feudal as PKK, of which PJAK is a part."
