Mubarak or the Muslim Brotherhood?
Binary assumptions that the only options for Egypt are dictatorship or Islamic theocracy are both misguided and dangerous.

U.S. intelligence collaboration with Omar Suleiman “most successful”
Image via Wikipedia
Useful background notes from Wikileaks on Omar Suleiman, Egypt's new vice-president, and therefore the man constitutionally next in line to take over if President Mubarak were to step down.
Key points include:
- Suleiman was trained early on in his career at the U.S. Special Warfare School at Fort Bragg
- Head of Egypt's spy agency
- Professional links with the CIA
- Fiercely opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood
Not an American puppet, but certainly an acceptable alternative to the US when Mubarak boards that plane for Jeddah.
