Mubarak really gets it! Not. Mubarak’s new deputy linked to CIA rendition program
<snip>

The man named by President Hosni Mubarak as his first ever deputy, Egyptian spy chief Omar Suleiman, reportedly orchestrated the brutal interrogation of terror suspects abducted by the CIA in a secret program condemned by rights groups.

<snip>

As spy chief, Suleiman reportedly embraced the CIA's controversial "extraordinary rendition" program, in which terror suspects snatched by the Americans were taken to Egypt and other countries without legal proceedings and subjected to interrogations.

<snip>

He "was the CIA's point man in Egypt for rendition," Jane Mayer, author of "The Dark Side," wrote on the New Yorker's website.

<snip>

A US Senate report in 2006 describes how the detainee was locked in a cage for hours and beaten, with Egyptian authorities pushing him to confirm alleged connections between Al-Qaeda and Saddam.

1. See?
When you have a government so corrupt that the head torturers get elevated ever higher

You get a revolution.

Let this be a lesson to our people. You keep this shit up and the people here will fucking revolt.
If we had another 4 years of bush, we may have already had one.
They were damn smart to put Obama in the white house. Damn smart.
