I have said this on FB and Twitter in Arabic but will say it again. I owe this man an apology: he has proven to be more radical and more astute and more right about his assessment of the political situation in Egypt and about the insignificance of elections under the rule of the Military Council than many liberals and progressives in Egypt. He has been quite wise and not in any way tempted by power. I was also informed by Egyptians that he admitted in an interview with Yusri Fudah that has socialist tendencies. He was wise in boycotting the entire election sham process from the beginning.
