Letter from Senator Hagel to President Bush about America's Iran Policy

Dear Colleagues & Friends:

I am writing to send to your attention a previously unreleased letter from Senator Chuck Hagel to President Bush about America’s Iran policy.

In the letter, copied to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, Hagel urges Bush to pursue “direct, unconditional and comprehensive talks with Iran.”

The contents of the letter — and a bit more including the reported reaction from Centcom Commander Admiral Fallon are available here:
