Egypt

The thugs that run the streets of Cairo, the ones that support President Mubarak, seem to be orchestrated by the Egyptian leader. These guys are now into beating and threatening Western journalists. In times of conflict of this sort it seems that we never have a shortage of bad guys that like to mix it up and do evil deeds. No matter the side, religious thugs, state supported thugs, no matter the country, Egypt, Sudan, Great Britain and such, disorder is the name of the game.

As our White House has stated today: "The White House is calling on the Egyptian government to immediately release any journalists who have been detained in the course of covering the country's political unrest, saying the "systematic targeting" of reporters is "totally unacceptable. The Obama administration strongly condemned the behavior of pro-government supporters, after a number of international journalists -- including Fox Business Network's Ashley Webster, and Fox News' Greg Palkot and Olaf Wiig -- were attacked, intimidated and in some cases jailed in Cairo. As pro- and anti-government demonstrators continue to clash, those covering the historic events have apparently become a target as well. The Obama administration claimed the acts were part of a concerted campaign."

Its time for our President to convey to President Mubarak and to the Egyptian Military that if he doesn't halt this sort of thuggery that the billions of dollars that we give that military will stop immediately. Evil is evil and if this continues the Muslim Brotherhood, with excuses, will become the most important player in Egypt and a real war between the Egyptian Military and the citizens will commence.
