#1 "Morsi should definitely be released. But if he had an accident and fell down the stairs, we wouldn't feel bad. We never liked him anyway."

#2 And CINC never understood that this was an antagonist group from way back when. Back the wrong team, get the wrong dream. But that happens when your choom gang decides your political levity. FUK woodstck and everyone now running the government from it.

This thing is a joke and it is coming down. One way or another, this is over.

#4 U.S. Calls on Egyptian Army to Release Morsi, our man in Cairo

FIFY

Someone in the WH inner circle forgot that the MB assassinated Anwar Sadat who came out the military cabal. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

#6 Release him from the roof of a 3 story building like his supporters do.

This is the second SoS head yet the results are strikengly the same, and with a similar response time. Takes all the wonder out of it.

#8 Morsi being held for his own safety: army
Former president Mohamed Morsi is being held at a military facility “for his own security,” the armed forces said on Saturday.

Spokesman for the armed forces Colonel Ahmed Ali said that due to the current instability in the country, Morsi would be held for his own safety until the situation stabilises.
However
Egyptian prosecutor has received complaints against Mursi
Egypt's public prosecutor's office said on Saturday it had received complaints accusing deposed President Mohamed Mursi and other senior leaders of his Muslim Brotherhood of spying, inciting killings of protesters and damaging the economy.

The prosecutor's office said in a statement it was investigating the complaints to prepare a file so that those accused could be questioned. It did not say who had lodged the complaints.

Egypt's legal system allows prosecutors to investigate complaints made by the police or by any member of the public. It can take days or months for formal charges to appear. Prosecutors rarely issue statements based on complaints before charges are filed.

The statement named eight other Islamist figures including the Brotherhood's top leader, Mohamed Badie, and the deputy leader of its political party Essam El-Erian, and said others had also been named.

Mursi has been held incommunicado at an undisclosed location with since the military removed him from power on July 3. Badie and El-Erian are among senior Brotherhood officials that the authorities have already said are wanted over accusations they incited violence.

#9 Release him from a helicopter - at 1000 feet.

"We flew him away for his own safety, but for some unknown reason he jumped out of the helicopter. Guess we forgot to lock the door. Sorry."

#10 Continuing Barbara's story: "After he jumped out, he managed to hang on to the copter for a few minutes. We tried to help him by stepping on his fingers to help him hold on. For some reason, he let go."

#11 Didn't we encourage the Shah to release Khomeini on humanitarian grounds?

That worked out well, didn't it?
