Earlier today, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker sent (and published) a letter to President Obama about the direction of negotiations with Iran. Suffice it to say, Senator Corker is not pleased. After describing negotiations' current trajectory as "breathtaking" and himself as "alarmed," he concludes: "Walking away from a bad deal at this point would take courage, but it would be the best thing for the United States, the region and the world."
