Condi Dismissed Iranian Letter

Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice dismissed a letter that Iran's president sent to President Bush on Monday.

"This letter is not the place that one would find an opening to engage on the nuclear issue or anything of the sort," the top U.S. diplomat said in an interview with The Associated Press. "It isn't addressing the issues that we're dealing with in a concrete way."
