Dossier Details Egypt's Case Against Democracy Groups
(New York Times) Rod Nordland and David D. Kirkpatrick - The Egyptian prosecution's dossier on the case against at least 16 Americans and others from five democracy and human rights groups shows leaps of logic. For example, documents seized from the International Republican Institute include Wikipedia maps of Egypt showing the country's four regions. The prosecution suggested that the maps showed a plan to dismember the country. The prosecution's dossier claims that the groups "worked in coordination with the CIA" and served "U.S. and Israeli interests." The primary force behind the prosecution is Fayza Abul Naga, who as minister of planning and international cooperation is in charge of dealing with foreign aid. Abul Naga has described one of the groups operating in Egypt, Freedom House, as "founded by the Jewish lobbyists."
