Let me just recommend again this FT piece on the Pentagon doing some Iran policy planning. I am not sure how Congressional oversight works when the intelligence unit of the Marines outsources a study on Iran's ethnic minorities and how they might be exploited against Tehran to a subisidiary of SAIC. I suspect there just isn't any. In terms of understanding the genesis of the idea of using Iran's non Persian ethnic groups to destabilize Tehran, where do you think that idea was hatched?
