“...The U.S. State Department would  neither confirm nor deny the report.”:

That means...confirmed, in so many words.

And the administration has already admitted they would be open to a role for MB in the new Egyptian gov. Why would it be that shocking then if they met with them secretly to discuss the transition?

Maybe I'll post some old MB articles, since the media is annointing them moderates, or ping some old threads here if I can find them. I hope you do. It is criminal how they are supporting MB. IMO

Obama or his minions met with MB in 2008 and in 2009 (search engines are a great thing). No surprise he would have met with them more recently.

http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/02/17/napolitano-meets-with-muslim-brotherhood-leaders/

February 17 2010

Last month, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and her senior staff privately met in Washington, D.C., with a select group of Muslim, Arab, and Sikh organizations. Among the mix were three organizations directly associated with an outlawed terrorist entity — the Muslim Brotherhood.

Secretary Napolitano spent an hour and a half briefing them on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) counter-radicalization and anti-terrorist programs. The intensive briefings spanned two days (January 27 and 28) and were called by the DHS.

Although there is no evidence of an exchange of classified information, this meeting was the beginning of an Obama administration program aimed at devising a new information-sharing framework with the Muslim organizations — some of them regarded as extremist because of their ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The group is to meet regularly with DHS senior aides and with Napolitano. This program was imported from the United Kingdom. The Obama administration has decided to replicate the UK program to win over Muslims and to get them to collaborate with the federal government.

"Obama has sent former U.S. ambassador to Egypt Frank Wisner to Egypt"....

"As someone with deep experience in the region, he is meeting with a Egyptian officials and providing his assessment."

Wisner is one of those who had an orderly transition from government to big corporate America. Wisner served on Enron's board of directors and as vice chairman of AIG" [in both cases, before, during or after they failed????]

The above quotes from: http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/8062806-who-is-frank-wisner-obamas-envoy-to-egypt

So, he sent a long-time former member of the permanent govt at state (seldom to be trusted in my book), who in retirement joined the crony-capitalist class of traders in influence; who build their own professional ladders using their influence.

He did more than that. They’ve been a little more cushy than we knew: Obama’s faith advisor: Dalia Mogahed’s father is Elsayed Mogahed:

‘an Egyptian immigrant who is a former engineering scientist at the University of Wisconsin and director of the Islamic Center of Madison (ICM). The website of the ICM links mainly to U.S. Muslim Brotherhood organizations and Souheil Ghannouchi, the President of the MAS was ICM Imam and President for several years. “

a liitle more about the advisor and Dr. Esposito:

‘she also co-authored a book with Dr. Esposito suggesting that majority of the world’s Muslims support some form of democracy. Dr. Esposito, in turn, is a long-time supporter of the global Muslim Brotherhood , has espoused views consistent with Brotherhood doctrine, and has at least a dozen past or present affiliations with global Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas organizations.’
