New York Times covers Jordan election

"In Jordan, ideological arguments split the group into rival factions, with one recognized by the government as the official Brotherhood." Ideological splits? The regime split the party and confiscated its property and gave them to its tool.   ""The fact that Jordan is actually holding elections ...in a region that is full of blood and fight and weapons — that in itself is important," he said. "It shows the strength of this country, and the credibility of its institutions and the reform process."" What? Strength and credibility? The lousy Syrian regime held elections, is that also a sign of credibility?  If this sham election is being held in Syria or Iran, the Western media would be mocking it.
