- “Lurking in Egypt’s police and intelligence files are mountains of materials on significant human rights abuses — disappearances, political detentions, torture, and summary executions. In some of these cases, the United States government knew what was going on or had agents in the room. This will come out, and America’s historical complicity in Egypt’s nightmares will become clear.”
That is, if post-Mubarak Egypt is sincerely committed to this form of transparency, and if Omar Suleiman, long-time head of Egyptian intelligence and current transitional figure, doesn’t destroy everything first. How much do you want to bet those two conditions will be met? Still, I’d love to know what’s in those files….
