US asked Mubarak to ban Al-Manar

"Highlighting the daily incitement to terror televised by the Hezbollah-run Al Manar channel, Gonzales requested that GOE use existing laws to prohibit Al Manar from being broadcast via Egypt-based NileSat television. Mubarak responded that Al Manar is a ""sensitive"" issue, and Egypt is not ready to prohibit it from utilizing NileSat, as this would create ""big problems with Hezbollah.""
