Iran Recognize Israel?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 6, 2010

Is it just us, or does Sy Hersh always go one or three steps further in his interviews from what he's prepared to say in print?

On today's show: "in 03, in May, [the Iranians] came to us and they proffered up not only recognition of Israel, but let's start talking about dismantling what we had. And we [the US] won't talk, and there's not public pressure on this president to talk, which is amazing."
