The Spring 2003 Iran Proposal: The Story is Not Yet Complete or Correct<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

I have been digging deeper and deeper into various aspects of the alleged Spring 2003 Iran proposal<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

I may have just stumbled across some huge part of the story — and it could be shocking to nearly every commentator who has thus far spoken or written about this initiative, including my colleague Flynt Leverett who has been engaged in a strong-worded exchange<\/a><\/strong> back and forth with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.<\/p>\n

My advice to all parties and all journalists in this debate is to pause. I hope to be able to shed some light on something I have heard from an important source tomorrow or early next week. I must protect sources — but I strongly believe that there is far more to this scenario than Iran offering us a package of initiatives to consider normalizing relations. <\/p>\n

But there may be a very big problem in the story as it is now being told.<\/p>\n

More soon, I hope.<\/p>\n
