Law No.100 in Egypt is a law for regulating the broadcast of the army and intelligence news in the media locally , according to this law any reporter in Egypt must have the permission of the military intelligence to publish any story concerning the army with its different branches and the general intelligence.
I can understand the importance of this law in time of war but I can’t understand why it would be activated in time of peace especially that already running stories on the army and the intelligence other than in national days is a taboo currently in Egypt !!!!!!!!!!
Youm 7 in its weekly issue this week reported that the NDP law tailors want to activate this law again causing a spilt in opinion in the party and Do you know why they want to activate this law ??
Because the Gamal Mubarak camp in NDP dislikes the fact the army was frequently mentioned as an obstacle to Gamal’s quest to become the fifth president of Egypt , they have enough from local press reminding them by the sleeping power of the Egyptian army and its important role in choosing the ruler of this country ; they have even more than enough from foreign press which reminds them constantly that Gamal Mubarak actually may not rule by the end of the day because he is not from that military establishment and that Omar Soliman has an edge over him because of this.
I can’t believe what they are doing !! !!?? For God sake we do not speak about the army and the intelligence as other countries do , we do not even dare to ask about the army and its policies unlike other countries in the world !!
It is ironically that When I read this provoking news , I had just finished reading about Attorney General Eric Holder who decided on Monday to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate supposed CIA abuses of terrorist in the States !!
This is just another setback , it is enough that we do not discuss the military policies for the sake of the national security and secrecy in time of satellite !! Already this law reminds me with the law regulating relation between the judges and the media, of course in our case the army men do not talk at all to the media, it is just mentioned !! This is so provoking.
Anyhow I just want to tell those laws tailors in NDP above them Dr.Shawky El-Said something the army can have a strong word in the future of country whether Gamal likes or not , the army does not care that gag order they want to impose on the media because in the army in the end is made of the people of Egypt.
Down with law No.100
