Alas, apparently not. There's a whole bunch of legal obstacles before Anderson gets any of that money, and some of them appear insuperable, unless and until the Administration decides that it's not against US diplomatic interests to unfreeze the assets for that purpose. It probably would be a good campaign issue for McCain, but I think there's every reason to believe that Bush would keep the Iranian assets locked up as tightly as Clinton has.
