Proving their worth to the US as an ally in the "war on terra" the Egyptian government has rounded up the usual suspects and detained seventy five members of the Muslim government. I am certain that they will be well treated, in a brutal sort of way, and that all of their human rights will be respected. The arrests came in advance of upcoming elections as well as parliamentary debates on constitutional reform. The Muslim Brotherhood is Egypt's strongest opposition group.
I wait, with bated breath, for the chorus of condemnation from Washington over this affront to democracy. After all our convictions require us to support an open and free democratic government over a military regime that generally does what we want. Don't they?
