Wolfowitz: U.S. Should Reach Out To Moussavi

"I would certainly find out if he (Moussavi) wants a conversation," former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "If he doesn't, I certainly wouldn't push it. But I would make it clear that the phone is an open line."

"I understand the concern about meddling in a way that seems to label the opposition as American tools, but the opposition made it very clear they want support from the world," said Wolfowitz, who is currently a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

Wolfowitz called Moussavi a "very brave man," saying, "He is resisting. He is putting his life at risk."
