Former CIA director Michael Hayden spoke at a conference organized by ExecutiveAction entitled 'Middle East in Transition: Prospect for Iran?' in Washington on Feb. 19, 2011. Hayden is one of a host of high-ranking former US officials who have called on the US State Dept. to recognize the MEK as the main opposition to Iran's Islamic regime, though Iran experts warn that the MEK has no popular support inside the country.
