While the Army Settles in, the Secular Liberals are Déjà vu All Over Again

I've just noted the Army's consolidation of its role in Egypt. What about the civilian secular liberals who wanted Morsi gone so badly? This headline contains so much truth about the secular/liberal parties in Egypt since 2011, I'm not sure you even need to click through: "Disputes in National Salvation Front emerge ahead of elections."
