Obama Continues to Warm to Global Thugs

I found these excerpts from a Washington Post piece by Anne E. Kornblut and Mary Beth Sheridan that appeared in my (news)paper, the Boston Globe:

"(Egyptian President Hosni) Mubarak and Obama’s meeting, their third in three months, marked a significant departure from the previous administration - when Mubarak and President Bush parted ways over human rights and US policy in the Middle East . . .

In the Bush era, relations were strained over the US push for democratic reforms in Egypt. Human-rights groups say that country’s authoritarian government detains people arbitrarily and puts them on trial in security courts that do not meet international standards for fairness.

The government also jails people for peacefully expressing opinions, the groups said."

In this report, I do not question nor doubt the reporting of liberal journalists from yet another liberally-extreme (news)paper.
