Coincidentally, today's online Daily Star/News Egypt has an article about the heavy-handedness of the Egyptian government.
CAIRO: Saad Eddin Ibrahim, the Egyptian-American human right advocate, was sentenced in absentia on Saturday to two years in prison for damaging Egypt’s reputation.

The scary thing is, this total nutjob was advising another nutjob, Gore, and he came way too close to being POTUS.

Is it possible to fall out of love with your own country? For two years, I, like many Americans, have been focused intently on documenting, exposing, and alerting the nation to the Bush administration’s criminality and its assault on the Constitution and the rule of law...

Hey Naomi. Ponder this nightmare scenario.

McCain is just playing with Obama like a cat with a mouse.

How dare this newspaper attack Egypt, where torture is the rule of the day. Hopefully the government will shut them down.

If only Bush wore earth tones, all would be forgiven, eh, Naomi?

I know of no place on earth more lovely nor an occasion so agreeable than Upper Bavaria in the Dämmerung when my neighbors gather on the lawn to drink the local beer, enjoy the view of the mountains at sunset, and breathe in the zephyrs of summer.

So it was here yesterday evening on my neighbor's lawn when the conversation turned to politics. Of course, all the Bavarians were in favor of Barak Obama and I could get no traction in pointing out to them that the man was a nouveau and utterly unqualified to be the leader of the free world whose decisions would eventually affect them. In desperation, I extracted a €20 note from my wallet, held it in the air and declared that I would give it to anyone at the table who could name just one thing that Barak Obama had accomplished which makes him worthy of the presidency. No one could respond. There was only nervous laughter and a few self-conscious jokes. I was able to return the money to my wallet without any real claim being made upon it.

Everyone at the table, by the way, was either convinced or somewhat persuaded that the CIA had engineered the attacks of 9/11. Six years ago only the occasional drooling nut would have voiced such a view which is so preposterous on its face is any reasonable person must discount it. I asked them how many people would have to be in on the secret to keep the conspiracy going. Again there was no serious answer.

This piece by Naomi Wolf, like the CIA conspiracy theory, Michael Moore's movies and books, and the unremitting propaganda on behalf of Barak Obama, leave my poor neighbors without any chance to see the other side of the story. because they just don't get the other side of the story.

These are not crazy left-wing nuts, these are staunch Catholics, family people, their parents were all farmers, they are very conservative in their daily affairs, they're all raising three and four kids. They have visited America and they love America. One teenage daughter whose mother believes in the conspiracy theory is about to spend three weeks as a house guest of ours with her girlfriend in our home in America. Yet, they take their politics straight from the mouth of Michael Moore.

Naomi Wolf, like Michael Moore, does America untold damage and damages ultimately these Europeans who have all the right instincts and all the wrong sources of information.

I never fell out of love with my country, even when I wanted the guy running the government (or the folks running Congress) to just go away.

I’m sure Naomi was just as busy documenting the criminal acts Bill and Hillary were committing during their disgraceful eight years in power.

Oh, wait...
