Some Takes on Egypt

 A few useful reads on the ongoing Egypt drama:

• Magdy Samaan on "Cairo's Undercover Strongman," on Murad Muwafi, the successor of ‘Omar Suleiman as head of General Intelligence.

•  Steven A. Cook, Foreign Policy, "Egypt and the United States: It's Not You; It's Me," on possible benefits of greater estrangement between the two. Also see Issandr El Amrani's own take on Cook: "US-Egypt: Time to Part Ways?"

• Cultural Antrhopology and The American Ethnologist have put together a "Hot Spots" collection of article links, multimedia, etc. on Egypt's revolution.  There's a great deal of material there.
