Egyptian state media ignore U.S. calls for reform
-------------------------------------------------
Egypt's state media are largely ignoring U.S. criticism of the
government and calls for more political freedom in what observers see
as a losing battle to quell debate on reform in the largest Arab
country. On 20 June, Secretary State Condoleezza Rice directed strong
criticism at Egypt in a major policy speech in Cairo on Arab reform.
However, state media ignored her call for an end to emergency laws
and the need to replace "arbitrary justice" with an independent
judiciary.
