Egypt needs democracy, not another torturer-in-chief


The Zionist-occupied USA has been pushing for the replacement of Hosni Mubarak with an even worse torturer: "Intelligence chief" (meaning torturer-in-chief) Omar Suleiman.

This is the man who has been personally directing the torture of those suspected of being ethical and moral individuals - i.e. "Islamists" - in Egypt's nightmare dungeons.

Stephen Soldz writes in "The Torture Career of Egypt's New Vice-President":

Suleiman wasn't just the go-to bureaucrat for when the Americans wanted to arrange a little torture. This "urbane and sophisticated man" apparently enjoyed a little rough stuff himself.
Shortly after 9/11, Australian citizen Mamdouh Habib was captured by Pakistani security forces and, under US pressure, torture by Pakistanis. He was then rendered (with an Australian diplomats watching) by CIA operatives to Egypt, a not uncommon practice. In Egypt, Habib merited Suleiman's personal attention. As related by Richard Neville, based on Habib's memoir:
Habib was interrogated by the country's Intelligence Director, General Omar Suleiman.... Suleiman took a personal interest in anyone suspected of links with Al Qaeda. As Habib had visited Afghanistan shortly before  9/11, he was under suspicion. Habib was repeatedly zapped with high-voltage electricity, immersed in water up to his nostrils, beaten, his fingers were broken and he was hung from metal hooks.
That treatment wasn't enough for Suleiman, so:
To loosen Habib's tongue, Suleiman ordered a guard to murder a gruesomely shackled Turkistan prisoner in front of Habib -" and he did, with a vicious karate kick.
Why is the USA, led by Zionist-blackmailed gay president, trying to put this criminal scumbag in power? Political Science professor Virginia Tilley explains:

(Suleiman is) a core high operator in Israeli/US foreign policy,  including the ‘war on terror’ (supervising US-requested renditions, etc.),  and a good personal buddy of former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak,  with whom he once male-bonded in surviving a shared assassination attempt. He’s a proven ally in the deceitful manipulation of the Palestinian Authority: e.g.,  leading the phony “unity” talks while supervising Egyptian assistance to the US in training PA armed forces to repress Hamas in the West Bank and ensuring the brutal sealing of Gaza., Best of all,  Suleiman is an intelligence chief,  welded firmly within the US-Israeli intelligence nexus that props up the Fatah-led PA,  assists with the mess in Afghanistan,  tortures or assassinates the more dangerous opponents to US and Israeli interests,  and orchestrates the subversion of Syria and Iran. Such a figure,  Washington must hope,  can recreate an effective US-Israeli-Egyptian power bloc in a Middle East now drifting away from US moorings as Turkey,  Lebanon and even Iraq progressively defect from Western-preferred policies.

In Muslim-majority countries, far more than in the post-Christian West, individual ethics and morality are very closely tied to religious piety. That is why, for the most part, the Egyptian "secularist" elite is infested with greedy functional-psychopaths devoid of any compassion for their less fortunate countrymen; while "Islamist" (i.e. pious, religiously-inspired) activists like the Muslim Brotherhood spend their lives organizing soup kitchens, working for a more just society, and enduring torture and mass murder from the likes of Hosni Mubarak and Omar Suleiman.

If Egypt is to become truly democratic, it must exile or execute those responsible for the previous state policy of torture - people like Mubarak and Suleiman - and bring the ethical, idealistic people, meaning the torture victims, into the halls of power.
