A senior Muslim Brotherhood official who, until recently, had been employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation was arrested in Cairo on Tuesday and charged with inciting violence.
Gehad el-Haddad served as one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s top communications officials until Egyptian security forces seized him as part of a wider crackdown on officials loyal to ousted former President Mohamed Morsi.
El-Haddad served as the Clinton Foundation’s city director from August 2007 to August 2012, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Just a month after El-Haddad left the Clinton Foundation to work full-time for the Brotherhood, former President Morsi was invited to deliver his first major speech at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), the high profile political family’s other nonprofit.
El-Haddad’s employment at the Clinton Foundation overlapped with his official work for the Muslim Brotherhood, which began in Cairo in February 2011 when he assumed control of the Renaissance Project, a Brotherhood-backed economic recovery program.
...
El-Haddad was “charged with developing a long-term economic recovery program,” known as the Renaissance Project, during his time as senior adviser.
...
“Renaissance is far more than the electoral program of President Mohamed Morsi or the Brotherhood’s political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party,” the Egypt Independent reported at the time. “It is a 25-year project to reform state, business and civil society, rooted in the Brotherhood’s Islamic values but conditioned by the experiences of the project’s founders in the modern economy.”
Haddad told the Independent that he applied the knowledge he learned at the Clinton Foundation to his work at the Renaissance Project.
...
El-Haddad left the Clinton Foundation in August 2012, two months after Morsi assumed the Egyptian presidency.
He was appointed a “senior adviser and media spokesman” to the Muslim Brotherhood in January 2013 and served in that role until his arrest.
Nothing much here - other than another Muslim Brotherhood member linked and having served with Democrats.
I would be surprised if at some point they are linked w/ some Repulicans - but we haven't seen that yet.
I think if anyone watched the front Line report on events in Egypt it was quite surprising that many moderates leaders there see it has just another military coup by same military leaders who the protectors originally wanted to put on trial for their previous crimes. They said the end result is a stronger military then ever and no one can be president without their support once again.
And why am I supposed to be up in arms about this like you conservatives?

What's interesting is that you claim we are "up in arms" because an article is posted.
Is that why you post articles... because you are up in arms and outraged?
Don't ascribe your your outrage to others.
I didn't read any outrage into the OP. I know I didn't have any because I said there's not much there.
