Top Egyptian politicians were left red- faced after they were caught on live TV hatching plots to sabotage a dam in neighbouring Ethiopia . . . The gaffe happened as an official failed to inform them that they were live on air during talks with Mursi.

"Gaffe"? That is a rather mild word for saying this on live television.

Actually, what they did was the exact opposite of a 'gaffe'.

A gaffe is when you are trying to say the right thing, and mess your words up.

These guys were being honest, and said exactly what they intended to say.

The gaffe was made by El-Sharqawy, the presidential aide who failed to let the leaders know they were live. That was the gaffe. For the leaders, it was a disaster of incredible proportions.
