The State Department and NGOs are outraged by a decision made by Egypt’s military regime to bar six Americans from leaving the country. The move comes a month after Egypt raided and closed the offices of 17 nongovernmental organizations and the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute, and Freedom House. “We are urging the government of Egypt to lift these restrictions immediately and allow these folks to come home as soon as possible,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. “The public prosecutor has searched 17 civil society organizations, local and foreign, as part of the foreign funding case,” the official news agency MENA quoted a prosecutor’s office as saying in December. “The search is based on evidence showing violations of Egyptian laws including not having permits.” The NGOs and so-called pro-democracy organizations funded by the United States cried foul over the raids. Freedom House President David J. Kramer, who was a senior State Department official during the George W. Bush administration, said the raids were part of “an intensive campaign by the Egyptian government to dismantle civil society through a politically motivated legal campaign aimed at preventing ‘illegal foreign funding’ of civil society operations in Egypt.” “It is the clearest indication yet that the [ruling] Supreme Council of the Armed Forces … has no intention of permitting the establishment of genuine democracy and is attempting to scapegoat civil society for its own abysmal failure to manage Egypt’s transition effectively,” he said. Freedom House’s work is linked to the selective “democracy promotion” efforts of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a quasi-governmental foundation created by the Reagan administration and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in 1983. USAID allegedly shares “a close working relationship with the CIA.” “USAID has long been a conduit for CIA funding to subversive activities overseas and a front for CIA intelligence gathering,” writes Ajit Randeniya for a Sri Lankan website. “USAID is the collaborator and executor of CIA plots, and secret plans of the State Department. Its role is to act as an instrument of CIA penetration into civil society by enabling the ‘legitimate’ funding aimed at promoting U.S. foreign policy abroad and influencing internal politics of foreign nations. According to Allen Weinstein, one of the founders of NED, “A lot of what we [NED] do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.” In short, NED works behind the scenes to overthrow foreign governments. The International Republican Institute is a NED component run out of the State Department. It is associated with Arizona Republican Senator John McCain and a number of Bush-era neocons. McCain chairs the organization. McCain voiced “alarm and outrage” at a “new and disturbing turn” which included a travel ban on Sam LaHood, son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and NED’s Egypt director. The U.S. State Department’s top human rights official, Michael Posner, has declined to comment on the travel bans Egyptian officials have yet to formalize in writing.
Poster Comment: Carter did nothing to free the Iranian hostages, O'bungler will do the same. zerO is a Carter clone. Sec. of State Hillary will try to look angry if she gets around to it, but that's all.

Word is that Reagan promised the Iranians a better deal if they would hold off releasing the hostages until his inauguration.
Problem is. Those words come from the party that prides itself on murdering babies. Not to be believed. Why are you in the evil party anyway?
The problem is the above came from the mouth of a moron. Not to be believed. Why are you so fucking dumb?
If you think I am a moron get the fuck off the site and never return. You're a nobody and wont be missed.
Oh boo frickity hoo...Stone said something mean to me. I have no inclination to discuss abortion with you.
You can't possibly be a good person and in favor of color of law legalized abortion. Only sickos and evil person condone such barbaric practices. If you are for abortion you probably beat your kids too.
Isn't that for God to decide?
Isn't that for God to decide? He already decided it. Did you read the 10 commandments. Thou shalt not kill.
Isn't that for God to decide? He already decided it. Did you read the 10 commandments. Thou shalt not kill. "And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death."
7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Ex. 20.17 · Deut. 5.21 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 ¶ Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Gal. 5.17 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would, I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 ¶ I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
