AIPAC merely wants the WHOLE story told. That the relief from sanctions will allow Iran to further finance their hamas, hezbollah and islamic jihad pals like they've always done - or do you call that viscous disinformation? I think it was as good as agreement that you were going to get the mullahs to agree to but let's not pretend there aren't real problems with it. Jews are used to the dual loyalty charge and juan cole isn't new at it either - he's meaningless to them. BTW - just a bare majority of support hardly looks like the overwhelming support for the deal you seem to wish there was.
