The idea of propaganda like this is to report unjustified violence and discredit legitimate opposition as violence. The prisoners have been let go and members of the Ikhwan al Muslimeen are on Al-Jazeerah in Arabic exclaiming that there was no violent prison outbreak. Leave it to CNN to report otherwise without verification. Do not rule out violence in coming days if Egyptians refuse to stop. The rhetoric of the US has relinquished them of responsibility. They are certainly busy polling, seeing if Egyptians in fact believe that the stated withdrawal of aid if force is used. Additionally, it seems the efforts of Hillary Clinton have largely worked to steer the population in Egypt toward believing the US can be swayed to support immediate removal of Mubarek. Make no mistake about it however, the US is not prepared for and will not accept Mubarek and the regime folding in Egypt, there is way too much of what they term "national interest" at stake. The ulama in Saudi Arabia, scared because their stock portfolios are declining will soon be instructed to chastise these revolts for lawlessness and many people will try to get the Egyptians to go home and wait for a slow transition. However, if they do not listen and obey they will be shot and killed and the American weaponry will be utilized. Make no mistake about it, any violence in Egypt can only occur with US go ahead. If the intimidation does not work, then you have a real revolt on your hands.... when CNN starts its manipulation, then contingency plans are in place. If Baradei cannot calm them down and get them to accept gradual transition in the name of security, its over and the region may be engulfed in flames. These prisoners were illegally imprisoned for political views, are routinely tortured and yet there is no mention of this reality in such one-sided reporting. Perhaps they would like to also tell you, that Egyptian prisons are favorites of the rendition program. Please keep all of the Egyptians in your du'aa, and remember to pray for those prisoners who lost their freedom simply because they call to Islam.
Now I think we'll reframe that debate...
Does America want to finally have a conversation about its foreign policy? or perhaps someone will be so kind so as to communicate with them in a language they understand???
