There is a growing body of evidence that President Bush is planning to order a bombing attack on Iran, possibly with nuclear weapons.

According to a report in The Guardian newspaper in London, “John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told Tory delegates today that efforts by the United Kingdom and the European Union to negotiate with Iran had failed and that he saw no alternative to a pre-emptive strike on suspected nuclear facilities in the country.”

Similar views have been expressed by Patrick Cronin, director at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. In an earlier report in The Guardian newspaper, he was quoted as saying, “Washington is seriously reviewing plans to bomb not just nuclear sites but oil sites, military sites and even leadership targets.”

Basically we use email as a tool for reaching out to people for insight on stories we'd like to cover.

We have a Rochester story that we would like to cover. And we would like to extend our reach to people in the Rochester community (beyond our internal database of about 20,000 people across the state).

Would you be willing to help?

Here is the message and the link to a short survey that can help us out.
