The goals and the agenda of NIAC is not of much concern to me as long as they are honestly articulated, even if those goals include lobbying for the Islamic regime or Iranian-American businesses who would like to see the sanctions against IRI lifted.

Now a lawsuit has brought to light numerous documents that raise questions about whether the organization is using that influence to lobby for policies favorable to Iran in violation of federal law. If so, a number of prominent Washington figures could come to regret their ties to the group.
