| ElBaradei pleads for more democracy in Egypt |
| 2010-03-26 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Former U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Dr Mohammed ElBaradei reiterated the possibility of running in Egypt's 2011 presidential election. In the first interview to a non-Egyptian satellite channel, ElBaradei told Al Arabiya that his relationship with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is quite frank. Upon answering a question by Al Arabiya correspondent Randa Abul Azm about whether he had phoned President Mubarak at the hospital in Germany, ElBaradei said that Mubarak's latest illness was a "human condition" and he wished him a quick recovery and a safe return back to Egypt. |

| #1 It would be awfully cheeky of Dr. El-Baradei to call the president of Egypt in his hospital room -- they aren't friends, after all. Sending a brief note might be appropriate, if sent to his home or office, but nothing more intrusive than that. |
