"Carter cites Egypt election 'irregularities' "

Although not as bad as it could be by the sound of it. Indeed the story title seems a bit alarmist in light of the content of the story.

Incredibly disappointing that the Military Council seem to be picking up where Mubarak left off. Perhaps not surprising though, as many point up Mubarak was part of the military. I suppose it was unrealistic to expect any serious changes in terms of human rights whilst the country is still under the control of an unaccountable government. Fingers crossed elections actually take place in September and the Council steps aside.

I hesitated to link this at first, some of you may know how personally I take this and that's not what I want this blog to be about. Also I thought that the initial claims that it was an attempt by Mubarak supporters to draw anger against the protesters was, well, overly speculative (although if its true it worked; just have a look at some of the reactionary blogs for that!). Not that I know (it just looked like taking advantage to me).
