U.S. Plans Funding Broadcasts into Iran

United Press International / Eli J. Lake

October 29, 2003 /The State Department plans to fund some independent Iranian radio and television stations that broadcast into that country, a senior official told Congress yesterday.

Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the U.S. support for the private Iranian broadcasters would be on a "case- by-case basis."

The department would consider funding for these stations through the Middle East Partnership Initiative, a program started last year to support democratic movements in the Middle East and spur the region's authoritarian regimes to reform, he said.

Talked about this for 3 years....damn but D.C. moves slow! Seems State is about the worst...whatever Powell did to move the troops as a 4 Star doesn't seem to work at State.

Reruns of "Friends" and "Seinfeld" should be enough to bring the leaders to
their knees.
