Gen Clapper is not ignorant, he is following a pre-contrived position which the Obama Administration wants to set in place. They know the Muslim Brotherhood will probably take over Egypt and they want to set the stage for recognizing the new government. The meme will be that they are a force for good in Egypt.
I would ask the Copts who have died by the dozens in the last few months how true that statement is.

I'll know I catch some flack for this but the intelligence community is a political animal. The closer you get the top the worse it is. I can name at least a dozen incompetent Intel Analysts who should of been fired years ago. Despite their grave mistakes the idiots do manage to advance because someone likes them. Of course the public will never know because of Nondisclosure Agreements.
Last real competent Intelligence Director was Gen. Hayden. If it wasn't for him the wiretapping features of the Patriot act would of been much worse.
