Egypt keeping close tabs on Turkey
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a good friend of the Egyptian government – when he visited post-revolution Cairo in late 2011, he received a hero’s welcome.
Now, Egypt is closely watching the protests in Turkey.
“We're watching it, but without alarm,” Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday. “Turkey, I think, has a solid democracy. And this is an internal affair. I know surely they can handle it within the boundaries and the rules and the role of democracy.”
Even though Turkey has a longer tradition of democracy than Egypt, the anger in cities like Istanbul and Anakra does mirror some of the secular and religious divide in Egypt that has played out over the past months.
“This is a very legitimate request,” Kandil said. "But the legitimate process to achieve one party's view, one's group's view, is to wait for election time and make sure that you get the proper vote so you can properly represent in the government.”
Kandil believes there will be a call for election in Egypt in the next three or four months.
“But it doesn't work that one group gets the microphone and says 'we want to be there;' another group gets another microphone and they want to be in the driving seat.”

The man who broke the leaks story

Is Glenn Greenwald endangering America?
To listen to U.S. security officials, the columnist who revealed secret surveillance by the U.S. National Security Administration has exposed to terrorists the methods that the American government uses to prevent attacks.
Greenwald rejected and took issue with that argument in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Monday.
“I think that suggestion is so ludicrous that it’s actually an insult to the intelligence of the people at whom it’s directed,” he told Amanpour from Hong Kong, where the man who leaked intelligence on the NSA program is in self-imposed exile.
“Any terrorist that’s unaware that the government wants to [spy on them],” Greenwald said, “is a terrorist incapable of writing his own name, let alone detonating a bomb successfully on American soil.” FULL POST
The American columnist who can't live in America
By Richa Naik, CNN
Blogger and columnist Glenn Greenwald may have broken the biggest American story of the year, but the American can’t even live in America.
Greenwald, a gay man, moved to Brazil so he could be with his spouse since the U.S. government does not recognize same-sex couples when applying for residency visas. Greenwald said that this experience has allowed him to cast a critical eye on the subjects he reports on.
“When you grow up with any kind of real challenge that forces you to evaluate your relationship to these conventions and the things that you’re taught…you start to question what that system is.” Greenwald said. “Is it really valid in the way that it’s rejecting me or is it the system itself that is corrupted? I think that lends itself to a much more critical eye that you end up casting upon things that you’re taught are indisputably true.”

Massive breach of privacy in the U.S.
A secret court order requires one of America's largest telephone companies to hand over its data, its call data, to the United States government.
British newspaper The Guardian published a copy of the court order Wednesday night, revealing that the Verizon Corporation must provide telephone records for as many as 121 million domestic customers.
If you're a Verizon customer, this means the National Security Agency headquartered in Maryland knows who you are, who you're talking to and how long your call lasts. Such warrantless surveillance began under the Bush administration after the 9/11 attacks.
The secret program was exposed in 2006 and the following year Congress authorized the program under the supervision of a special court order, the FISA court, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, responsible for the secret order disclosed last night. It's the first we've seen that the Obama administration is continuing this Bush administration practice on such a massive scale.
In the video above Jimmy Gurule, a senior law enforcement official under President George Bush, speaks to CNN' Christiane Amanpour about these revelations.
First-hand account from inside Qusayr
Reporter Ali Hashem just left the flashpoint city of Qusayr and spoke to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour as he reached the Syria-Lebanon border.
“It's just a city of rubble,” Hashem told Amanpour. “I wasn't able even to find one place that wasn't destroyed.”
There are no opposition fighters left in Qusayr, according to Hashem.
“There is nothing that reflects that they are any kind of pockets of resistance in the city anymore,” he said. “There are no civilians in this city anymore.”
In the video above you can see Amanpour interview with Hashem and his full account of the devastation left in Qusayr.
