Excerpt:
White House officials met this week with envoys from the Muslim Brotherhood, in the latest sign that the Islamist group is returning to prominence in post-Mubarak Egypt after years in political exile.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said representatives from the organization met with “mid-level” officials from the National Security Council in Washington.
The meeting was held Tuesday, though it’s unclear whether they met at the White House or elsewhere in the capital.
The Obama administration cast the decision to meet with Brotherhood representatives as a reflection of political reality in the country, since the group will play a “prominent role” in Cairo going forward.
The Brotherhood was officially banned under Hosni Mubarak before he was overthrown, though it continued to be a force in Egyptian politics. The Brotherhood has past ties to terror group Hamas and espouses the implementation of Shariah law.
