American Values Being Tested in Egypt by Wileyfoxes

Journalists from Al Jazeera News, the most objective newscast in American (my opinion) have been thrown in jail for doing their jobs in Egypt.  Secretary of State Kerry went to Egypt to ask for their release.  As an insult to him, they sentenced the journalists to many years in prison as Kerry was getting on his plane to leave Egypt.  Five extra years were added to one journalist for having a dangerous weapon, a bullet cartridge that he had picked off the ground at a demonstration stoppeIf a recent poll is correct, see below, do not want our financial or military aid.  So, guess what we are planning.

HHer is the irony.  We are now processing a one billion dollar aid package to Egypt.  So, are we going to put our money where our mouth is and not support a government that does not recognize freedom of speech, the right to peaceful protest, and the right of journalists to do their job.  Probably not.  We are probably going to give them the aid and ask them to do better in the future or some similar double talk crab.

I'm guessing our aid comes with strings.  Something to the effect that they will purchase some military equipment from us with the aid.  So, it is really not aid to Egypt but aid to our American Big Business, the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned would some day sink America.  Am I wrong here?  More money going to the rich from the taxes on the people?

So what are our aid to Egypt say about American Values?
