According to the report, Mubarak will also face charges of taking other measures against protesters, including cutting communications, satellites and the internet in Egypt during the revolution against him.

[...]

Last week, Egypt's ruling military council dismissed speculation it would pardon former Mubarak, who is under investigation for graft and abuse of power, and said it does not interfere in judicial affairs.

This is a bad precedent. It guarantees that rulers will not voluntarily step down if there’s a chance of being charged.

Either that or it will encourage them to grab an offer of exile while they still can.

True, the old take’em with you comes to mind. The next man in charge has the same fate waiting for him.

The Egyptian Generals have betrayed their former colleague. I hope they realize that they will be the next to be thrown under the bus when the Muslim Brotherhood gains power.

I dont thinkso.

I think his real charges are siding with the enemy, acting against islam.

The next person in will be a islamist doing whatever he can to erase western culture and get sharia in there as fast as possible. They will not execute such a creature.

In the meanwhile American taxpayers are going in there to prop up this new upcoming “democracy”.

Since when is Islam consistent with democracy? Its is purely antithetical.

....but, Obama wants his caliphate and we cannot question our ruler.

With the muzzie brothers in charge, I’d say they’ll lop their heads off, but that’s just a wild guess.

As long as we have busy-body international bodies, no offer of exile would be safe from extradition orders.
