Sounds like a bit of progress.
Thanks for posting this

I thought it was interesting news as well.

It does bring one question to mind:

Obama stated during his campaign that he would be open to talking one-on-one with Iranian leaders. He was called "naive" by both John McCain and Hillary Clinton alike. Now that Hillary Clinton is Obama's Secretary of State, I wonder what, if any, opposition she has posed towards the face-to-face meetings that are likely to happen?

She said a lot of things when she was campaigning....some of them were very negative and directed at Obama but, you know how that goes....saying you'll do something if elected and then what you actually do once you're elected (and you get to find out what the real situation is....the whole story....the big picture.....all the classified info that few others know of), are two different things. I would say opposition Hillary had to the way Obama saw things, went out the door when she took the position of Secretary of State.
