    From Reuters
    “Son of Egypt’s Mubarak visited White House
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The son of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who some speculate may be in line for the presidency if his father steps down, visited the White House last week for a meeting at which he was briefly greeted by President George W. Bush, a spokesman said on Monday.

    “Gamal Mubarak was in Washington briefly on private business and asked to see the national security adviser, Steve Hadley,” Frederick Jones, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said.

    “Mr. Hadley met with Mr. Mubarak on Friday. The president dropped by to greet Mr. Mubarak and convey his best regards to his father, President Hosni Mubarak,” Jones said.

    He would not provide any details about what was discussed at the meeting.”

    nd asked to see the national security adviser, Steve Hadley

    This is the part that confuses me, not the greeting from Bush. Well, actually, the meeting with the National Security Advisor, at which Bush was present. Can’t quite figure out what Mubarak’s son wanted to talk to the National Security Advisor about.

    Want to tell some of your elected officials Congressional representatives to get involved in the Alaa case? Well, I don’t have a convenient list of them all (though it wouldn’t be hard to find a listing on the internet, I’m sure), but for Republican Senators, here is a nice list that leads you to their homepages where you can email them. It was assembled so that people could scream at their representatives about the immigration issue but it works well for writing about the Alaa case too:

    In fact, here is a Wikipedia page listing all members of Congress. Most, if not all, list the official websites for the representatives:

    You see - brave citizens of Amnesia - your PResident has different priorities:
    “Stop the holocaust and keep Alaa and his followers in prison!”

    Poor Alaa.
