“The Secretary expressed his deep concern about the raids that took place on December 29 on the offices of American and other NGOs.”–George Little, Pentagon
On December 29, Egyptian police and court officials raided several non-governmental organizations (NGO), many supported with taxpayer dollars from the United States, on grounds they’ve been funding civil unrest in Egypt.
However, Egypt’s pro-U.S. military government stopped the raids after getting phone calls from U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson.

The military government of Egypt has demonstrated they are the puppet of the United States, by their quick kowtowing to U.S. demands concerning U.S. taxpayer funded NGOs.
