The trial of 16 Americans and 27 others opens Sunday at a Cairo courthouse in what critics say is a politically charged case linked to a government crackdown on nonprofit groups that has touched off the deepest crisis in U.S.-Egyptian relations in decades.

Maybe Obama will apologize...

[nuconvert]

Probably did already. But he could again.

And...WHY aren’t they COUNTING THE DAYS of this travesty on the evening news (as it was in the days of the Carter administration)?

Really? Hillary said a few words, and then dropped it. Obama doesn't seem to have noticed it, but wants to increase aid to the Muslim Brotherhood. And the media have pretty much ignored it.

This is building up into a real crisis, all right. But who's minding the store?

[gorush]

I thought John McCain and other senators were headed over there to fix this...

No tears here. Let these little OWS turds get a reality suppository for a change.

In all honesty I don't really care. These self important meddlers cause far more trouble than they are worth. If you swim with sharks and get bit, ski down a wilderness slope and get buried in an avalanche, hike out into the desert, get lost and die of thirst, I'm sorry for you-- but it isn't my problem.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Well, let’s start counting the days here`.

I am pretty sure these idiots are the ones who went to the ME with Ayers and stirred up this “Arab Spring” under the tutalage, training, pay and support of Soros.

And that is why this isn’t the news it should be.

I second that.

Any jack-wipe who wanders into a third world hell hole and begins mucking around with their politics (especially after a violent revolution) deserves everything they get.

Just like those hikers who wandered into Iran, so long to bad garbage.

Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!

[opentalk]

They were community organizers, agitators. Resulted in the murder and attacks on Christians, destabilization, increased security risks to Israel and US. Includes Soros and his subversive meddling .

From related article at Drudge

...there is no dispute that the two groups and their staffs have broken the letter of Egyptian law. Both groups sought, but never received, licenses from the Egyptian government, and both are openly financed from abroad. They therefore violate two restrictions on civil groups left over from government of Hosni Mubarak...

[nuconvert]

Yeah, that came out shortly after this all broke

[nuconvert]

Thanx for the article

[elpadre]

I thought McCain and Graham went over a week ago and were to bring the Americans home. What happeed??

[nuconvert]

Not much. They were given “ assurance that they (Egyptians) are working very diligently to try to resolve the NGO issue”
