Hm. I'd be interested in helping with this if anyone else would want to brainstorm. Having it be formalized is important as most companies aren't that interested in having random people wander in every day - even with appointments.

I'm not crying foul on what you've stated, but I'd be interested in reading some accounts of those efforts. The one attack that I thought was against Iran was actually against Iraq: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera
