Uncle Sam's Human Rights Hypocrisy Exposed

AP reports today that Uncle Sam just approved a $1,700,000,000 financial aid pacakage to Egypt, one of the worlds' most flagrant human rights abusers, that includes "$200 million intended for new weapons and equipment for the Egyptian military" to help prop up Sam's Sepoy, Hosni Mubarak.

Egypt has received this aid for more than 25 years as a bribe from Uncle Sam in exchange for Egypt's docile acceptance of Apartheid Israel's occupation of Palestine. So it is less a news story and more a reminder of Uncle Sam's hyporisy and relativism.
