File this under:
“NEWS YOU WON’T BE SEEING ON NBC”

You also won’t find the words “Soros-Financed NGO’s” in any of these stories!

So you travel to a country, like Egypt. And, they won’t let you leave the country. Does that mean you are under house arrest?

Which aspect of US Transportation is addressed by paying this bozo and his staff to screw around in Egypt, anyway?

I hope every country does this to “us”.

And we should cut the budeget of his Dept in 1/2 —let them ONLY investigate crashes, and a bit more. Same for Dept of Education, etc, etc, etc.

What in hell are they doing in Egypt, jeez.

It’s an NGO that promotes democracy and human rights, and has nothing to do with the US Transportation Dept.
