U.S. Senator John Kerry said on Friday he was willing to go to Tehran to talk to Iranian leaders but would not have time during his current Middle East tour.

As long as he were to stay there.... But seriously, a senator doing an end-around like this on the State Department and the Administration? I'd have him arrested when he came back, on something anyway.

Bush could have him arrested ... all he needs to do is use the Logan Act! This idiot Kerry has no authority to represent the USA in any way with a foreign government. I don't think Bush has the gumption to charge any of these globe trotting traders from the Senate or the House with the Logan Act.

But of course Kerry does not have the "time" to visit Iran anyway. Ooooops "time" should read "BALLS"! Much, much to dangerous for this wuss!

It's called the Logan Act.
