The Best Coverage Of the Iranian Nuclear Deal

++In the last few weeks,the Imperial Post's coverage of the Iranian nuclear deal was buried as some side note in the paper. But I noticed the coverage was actually good, expanding on others' focus on personalities or GOP reactions.

++The pieces were as technical as the average reader could understand. Today,Carol Morello does it again with a front-page piece that reports that Ali Akbar Salehi said that the so-called "technical issues" about how the plan would be implemented. Morello reports that the Western response was more muted.

++What makes the piece interesting is that she writes about the different tests the United States has devised to test each step of the agreement and the models it uses for verification. 

++In other words, this is a very complicated negotiation with expertise well beyond Tehran Tom and the Republican Senators. 

++I hope by the end of this process that Carol Morello gets a Pulitzer for her clear,concise descriptions of the real process and not the imaginary one.
