Considerations in the Iran agreement

Gary Sick (bio below) addressed some of the objections to having an agreement with Iran on his blog in June.
He has not addressed the actual agreement yet but some may find his info useful. Neocons do not like him - he wrote The October Surprise.
In addition to this bio, he is the father of the fantastic electric violinist Geoffrey Castle.
Sick is a retired captain in the U.S. Navy.[2] He received a BA from University of Kansas in 1957, a Master of Science degree at George Washington University in 1970, followed by a PhD in political science at Columbia University in 1973.[2]
Sick served on the staff of the National Security Council under President Carter, and was the principal White House aide for Persian Gulf affairs from 1976 to 1981, a period which included the Iranian revolution and the hostage crisis.
After leaving government service, Sick served as Deputy Director for International Affairs at the Ford Foundation from 1982 to 1987, and is the executive director of the Gulf/2000 Project at Columbia University (1993–present), which has published five books and numbers many of the leading scholars on the Persian Gulf among its global membership. He is an adjunct professor of International Affairs and a senior research scholar at Columbia's School of International & Public Affairs, where he has been voted one of the top professors. He is emeritus member of the board of directors of Human Rights Watch, and serves as founding chair of the Advisory Committee of Human Rights Watch/Middle East.
