Lies of the New York Times

"In the case of Egypt, the administration has promised millions of dollars in aid to support a democratic transition, only to see the military council ruling the country object to how and where it is spent, according to two administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss diplomatic matters. The objection echoed similar ones that came from Mr. Mubarak’s government."  That is a lie.  The objections to US funding (which was intended to favor clients of US) came from the public in Egypt and not from the Military Council.  The Council was compelled to echo the objections of the public.
