Iran - A New Approach

The Committee on the Present Danger Policy has just released a new paper on Iran. Here are a few excerpts:
The administration should announce clearly a new approach to U.S. policy and be prepared to pursue it in a sustained manner. The highest profile announcement would be a speech by the President. ...

We should announce our willingness to reopen our embassy in Tehran. At the same time, one of our highest-ranking officials should be designated as the key person in our new policy toward Iran. ...

The United States has opportunities to develop relations with the military and various services in Iran and should seek to do so. ...

we should develop sanctions that target the Supreme Leader and his close circle of support, so that the sanctions are not seen by the people as harmful to them. ...

we could seek the cooperation of like-minded governments, leading toward creation of an international tribunal to try Khamenei. more
Since there are many conservative policy makers involved in this, it may be a close to what Condi Rice will propose once in office.
