Egypt bars son of US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, NGO colleagues from leaving

Sam LaHood, the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and the head of the International Republican Institute's (IRI) Cairo office, was blocked from departing Egypt earlier this week. He, along with a dozen other colleagues from American non-government organizations (NGO), have been placed on an Egyptian "no-fly" list, officials with IRI told Yahoo News Thursday.
The younger LaHood was blocked at passport control when he went to the Cairo airport Saturday, Lorne Craner, the head of the IRI, a Washington-based pro-democracy non-government organization, told Yahoo News.

Obama will be tested. Remember Jimmy Carter eh? Back in 1979-1980 Iran held Americans hostage for 444 days. And it cost Jimmy Carter his re-election. Wanna know why Iran released the hostages? Cause they were scared shit of Reagan. You see arabs know democrats are weak and theyre to chicken to fight back. So if Obama wants any chanceto be re-elected he better declare WAR on Egypt.

or it could be prearranged as a foreign policy coup in exchange for political help (money/influence)

I Rather want an Invasion. Holding our people hostage is an attack on the United States. Gee i wonder what would happen if Arabs hold members of the Chinese government hostage? What would Hu Jintao do?

You don't seem to mind Americans imprisoning foreigners for years, abusing them and never convicting them of anything

Oops sorry I forgot. American lives have a higher value than other people's lives

Especially if those other people are Muslims

Doubly especially if their skin is dark

Why don't you just add homosexuals, Jews and Gypsies to the list and hey presto

You could even get them to wear a degrading arm band

Or maybe an Orange suit

dogtowner, et al,

This could have something to do with activities that inspire further protests.

(COMMENT)

There are many NGOs that are suspected of conducting activities that further perpetuate demonstrations under the guise of promoting democracy. Last week, some 40+ foreigners, including 20 Americans, were detained (No Fly List) for that very thing.

Most Respectfully,

Obama proved hes weak like Jimmy Carter didnt do a thing about the Hostages in IRAN situtation

 

[Dawkinsrocks]

Not like Bush eh?

Executing innocent people,nmurdering millions of Muslims, lying to you lot repeatedly

A tower of strength

The US runs a concentration camp so shut up up about the odd hostage abroad

You lot have asked for it

 

[steveox]

What about FDR during WWII? He held the Japanese Americans in a concentration camp. That doesnt sound very liberal doesnt it?

 

[Dawkinsrocks]

That's better

Now you are starting to think properly

Yes, I agree, another example of US tyranny

No NGO has the right to enter fare any internal issue of a country. Does America or Israel allow to do that.So why does Egypt allow that.Egyptian govt. has right to bane those type of NGO.
