حديث نظيف أمس

[shawshank]

هذا حديث نظيف أمس لقناة الإم إس إن بي سي. اتسمت ردوده – في رأيي – إلى حد ما بالأمانة ، و لكن بالضعف أيضا، و أحيانا الوقوع في فخاخ قاتلة ينصبها له المحاور. و أظن السبب قلة (أو قل انعدام) خبرته السياسية و الدبلوماسية. من ضمن ما قال:

Russert: Would you prefer to have international monitors? (in the elections)

Nazif: I don't mind having them. I don't see a problem with that.

----------------------------------------------

Russert: They (the judges) met yesterday and said that the election is "a fraud"

Nazif: I don't think that they meant that it's fraud. I'm not sure if this is an accurate code.

Russert: That's the word that they used, and they cheered when they heard it.

Nazif: What they said is that they would like to have more power in supervising the elections ...

----------------------------------------------

Russert: So the minor parties will be able to run. They'll have complete and fair coverage in the state-controlled media, access to the airwaves, access to the ballot?

Nazif: As head of the Egyptian government, I promise you, Tim, this will be the case.

----------------------------------------------

Russert: There's a lot of thinking that, Mr. Prime Minister, what the real strategy here is to have President Mubarak re-elected, in effect, on an election that is not truly open, and then in 2011 turn over the reins of running Egypt to his son Jamal, a good friend of yours.

Nazif: Don't you see this is a prejudgment, Tim…

----------------------------------------------

Russert: Will President Mubarak seek re-election?

Nazif: That's up to him to decide.

Russert: Would you be surprised if he didn't?

Nazif: I would be surprised if he didn't, yes.

----------------------------------------------

Russert "... The security forces continued to mistreat and torture prisoners, arbitrarily arrest and detain persons, hold detainees in prolonged pretrial detention, and occasionally engage in mass arrests. Local police killed, tortured and otherwise abused both criminal suspects and other persons."

That's our State Department talking about your country, Egypt.

Nazif: Well, they're talking about it, but that's only part of the report. The report also cites that there has been a lot of improvement in human rights developments in Egypt…

----------------------------------------------

Russert: The Human Rights Watch: "The U.S. and other countries have forcibly sent dozens of terror suspects to Egypt, according to a report on Wednesday. The rights group and State Department have both said Egypt regularly uses extreme interrogation methods on detainees. ... The report said that total numbers sent to Egypt since Sept. 11 attacks could be high as 200…”

How many terrorists suspects have been sent to Egypt by the United States? (Obviously, that is a trap)

Nazif: I don't know the exact number, but I know that people have been sent there. The numbers have varied. Some have the number 60 or 70…

----------------------------------------------

Russert: The article yesterday said at the Judicial Conference that the protesters for President Mubarak had been paid?

Nazif: Well, did they see them being paid?

Russert: I'm just asking that.

Nazif: I don't think so. They are not being paid…

----------------------------------------------

Russert: Why aren't there any Arab democracies? (One more trap)

Nazif: Well, there will be…

----------------------------------------------

Russert: Would Egypt join in sanctions against Iran? (If Iran develops a nuclear capability)

Nazif: If they do that, we'll have to look into it.
