An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced ousted President Mohammed Morsi to death over his part in a mass prison break that took place during the 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak. As is customary in passing capital punishment, Judge Shaaban Shami referred his death sentence on Morsi and others to the nation's top Muslim theologian, or mufti, for his nonbinding opinion. He set June 2 for the next hearing. Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, was ousted by the military in July 2013 following days of mass street protests by Egyptians demanding that he be removed because of his divisive policies. Morsi's successor, Abdel-Fattah Sissi, was the military chief at the time and led the ouster. Sissi ran for president last year and won the vote in a landslide.

I’m wondering more if the intelligence community has passed this article on to Obama.

If the U.S. turned Hussein over to the Egyptians, he would be sentenced to death as well.

If the U.S. turned Hussein over to the Egyptians, he would be sentenced to death as well. And rightly so.

Well, there have been more than 500 death sentences handed out to muslim lunatics in Egypt. But have any of them actually been executed?

Remember when the Honduran Legislature and Supreme Court removed Honduran president Zelaya still in his PJ’s and deposited him in Costa Rica by helicopter?
