WINEP's anti-Iran propaganda suggestions

The pro-Israeli front Washington Institute for Near East Policy has issued a paper calling for the US to engage in clandestine propaganda activities against Iran by trying to manipulate issues of human rights for their own advantage.

Amongst their suggestions are:

Feed the regime’s anxieties about the security forces’reliability by, for example, publicizing reports of disquiet in the ranks over their repressive role.

Condemn the show-trials of reformists.

Publicize the cases of prominent regime victims.

Quietly assist Iranian expatriate groups that disseminate internet videos depicting violence by the security forces.

One interesting angle they propose to try to manipulate human rights concerns to tie it to the nuclear program is this:

Exploit Ahmadinezhad’s close identification with the regime’s nuclear program in order to delegitimize its efforts to create a nuclear weapons option. Portray it as an intrinsic part of Tehran’s efforts to block popular demands for change and maintain its grip on power by force, based on the reasoning that a nuclear Iran would be less vulnerable to international pressure regarding human rights.

It must really burn their asses that the nuclear program in Iran is so massively popular!

Anyway, I am not sure where the folks at WINEP have been until now, but pretty much every tactic they encourage has already been played out on Iran. For example, with regard to this tactic:

Raise constant questions about the regime’s stability, long-term viability, and reliability as a patron and partner, planting doubts among rejectionist groups and regimes throughout the region and beyond.

I already mentioned how the US media has been predicting the imminent collapse of the regime in Iran on a daily basis for the last 30 years.

Look folks, here's a bit of advice: Governments that backed Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons, and which train and arm nun-raping death squads in Latin America, and which torture people,  and help Israel maintain death camps in Gaza, simply don't have the legitimacy to lecture other governments. OK?
