Crooks and Liars:
Add Mohammed el-Baradei to the list of those welcoming Obama's statements that he'd talk to Iran.
"If there is a direct dialogue between the United States and Iran, I think Iran will be more forthcoming with the agency," IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei said.
"(A) political opening will also convince Iran to work with us to solve remaining technical issues," he told a news conference in Prague after meeting Czech Foreign Affairs Minister Karel Schwarzenberg.
"That political component of the (Iran) issue requires in my view a direct dialogue with Iran and that's why I am very encouraged by President-elect Obama's statement that he is ready to engage Iran in a direct dialogue without preconditions.

IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei has certainly been under a lot of stress, most of it because the Gerbil Administration keeps wanting more and more investigations, and this Administration has been less than cooperative with the IAEA.
Yes Mohamed ElBAradei, I am sure welcomes an much more intelligent less paranoid administration for the US.
