Freedom to choose
Not every choice results in freedom
I also hope the egyptians choose the best leaders
I would hate to see a frying pan to fire election

We all would for sure. I'm optimistic, the population is fairly well educated.

Thank goodness. In my opinion, all journalists should get the heck out of there due to the negative attitude toward foreign journalists in Egypt. It's just not worth risking ones life for his/her job.

From Secretary Clinton's blog - an update on Egyptian unrest and US media bias.
"An interesting partial interview with MJ Rosenberg of Media Matters talking about the US double standard regarding how democracy is viewed in the Arab world vs. Europe.
As if to prove MJ Rosenberg?s point, the NYT ran a story yesterday focusing on what the turmoil in Egypt means for the U.S. and Israel. And while it would be silly to pretend there aren?t ramifications, there is a danger in sending the wrong message to the Egyptian people- we want to make sure that the protests continue to be about their legitimate economic and democratic interests and NOT make it about U.S. and Israel?s needs/wants. Obviously the U.S. will be discussing such things behind closed doors, but now would be a good time to let the Egyptian people know we are unconditionally on their side and that we respect their desire to choose their own leaders for their own reasons. ......."

I know, I feel the same way, it's such a hard call to make. On one hand, you have the Egyptians that know where these journalists are coming from and are appreciative; on the other hand, you have the haters that try to eliminate everyone that opposes their cause.
It's like trying to walk a tightrope with torn places in the net.
I try to remember to pray for the right people to be in the right place, just because someone is a journalist doesn't necessarily mean they are the right ones for a particular job. Sometimes fear prevails and one doesn't finish, sometimes what might look like fear is wisdom. Like I said, it's a hard call.
At this point, I'm glad Anderson left. I think the dictatorship knows now that their dirty deeds are being broadcasted everywhere.
I am thankful to everyone all over the world that has participated in any capacity in this move for freedom- prayers, communication, media, government, people feeding other people, christians protecting muslims as they pray. All this goodness brings tears to my eyes- you can't beat love.

Good point to bring up Rita,
The communication of truth is vital in promoting peace for those who seek peace. The roadblock to peace is lies due to selfish ambition- one's gain at the expense of others. A good agreement is when everyone involved benefits and the condition of mankind is uplifted.
It is true that the Egyptians want their voices to be heard and are tired of tyranny and oppression. I believe the people of Egypt with a clear conscience see that we want to help, those with an agenda will forever make up lies to justify their dark deeds.
It is in the best interests of the U.S. to make decisions with integrity, with human rights being at the forefront. Any decisions based on political or economic gain at the expense of humanity will always come back around and bite us in the A$$

I hope he has a great time. Serious question-Does anyone think Walter Cronkite would do this sort of thing? Apples and oranges? I don't know...

That's what I like about you guys- you bring up things I don't know or that I forget about. I read that he was asked to be the grand marshall, but it was about the same time I discovered he was leaving Egypt, so I forgot about it til now, thanks.
Walter, a grand marshal?
I don't know
He always seemed so dignified and serious
Maybe
It's definitely a new day in journalism...
Yea...praying ALWAYS pays off
I don't determine the answers

You mean go in for the whole celebrity gran-poo-bah scene?
Somehow I just don't see it. I think Cronkrite & E.R. Murrough would find celebrity styled association with mardi-pardi ratings float-ation ploys to be ridiculous, demeaning, and detrimental to their credibility as serious news people. Then again, back in their day, competition consisted of, what, 3 channels / 2-3 x per day?
Anderson Cooper seems like the rare, earnest news guy that really tries harder than his cohorts to find/report facts. It's an unnecessary shame for him to allow himself to be pushed towards being a ... Kevin Federline :roll:.
