After review,.. Rice decided to keep Mujahideen-e-Khalq on the "terror list"

"...As it turns out, in the waning days of the Bush administration, then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reviewed the question of whether to keep the MEK on the U.S. terrorism list. Ultimately, she decided to keep the policy in place, effectively handing the issue over to the Obama administration (which is conducting a wide-ranging review of Iran policy). What we found interesting, however, is that Rice's advisers were split on the issue, according to our sources. Rice received a split decision memo from different bureaus at State, some arguing that the MEK should come off the list, others strenuously arguing it should remain on."
