Howard Dean is currently one of the most prominent paid voices in a public-relations campaign on behalf of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an obscure and controversial Iranian militant group that is aggressively lobbying the Obama administration to remove it from the official list of terrorist organizations.
Dean and other luminaries from across the political spectrum have been paid vast sums of money by the group -- as much as $20,000 for a 10-minute speech -- to appear at events pushing the Obama administration to remove the MEK from the official list of terrorist organizations.
Dean himself has acknowledged being paid but has not disclosed specific sums.
