EGYPTIAN BLOGGER JAILED FOR FOUR YEARS

As Instapundit has summed it up with his usual brevity, "this sucks." It is a true crushing of free speech sorely needed in Egypt. If the Bush doctrine of promoting democracy and freedom in the Middle East has any meaning, this act should drastically effect the amount of foreign aid we are giving Egypt for at least as long as Abdel Karim Suleiman sits in an Egyptian prison. If you feel the same way I do, please express your opinions to the White House, to yours Senators, and to your Representative.
