Egyptian-US relations

All the Arab media are filled with stories about a serious crisis in Egyptian-US relations.  Apparently, the US government wanted to do business as usual to fund whichever political movement it wants and such.  Look at the blatant lies from the US government (note that Bever "departed" Egypt ten days after assuming his job):

"Question: Did the director of USAID leave his post in Egypt due to rising anti-American sentiment in the country?
Answer: Reports that Cairo USAID Director James Bever has departed Egypt due to anti-American sentiment are inaccurate. Mr. Bever is a widely respected senior development professional who will be preparing for other duties. His departure from Cairo was purely for internal reasons." (thanks Joseph)
