This looks impressive: five former Secretaries of State speak out on US/Iranian relations:

Five former secretaries of state, gathering to give their best advice to the next president, agreed Monday that the United States should talk to Iran.

Which SecStates are we talking about, here?

The wide-ranging, 90-minute session in a packed auditorium at The George Washington University, produced exceptional unity among Madeleine Albright,

Er…yeah.  One out of five ain’t bad.

Whew.
