Talk:Peter Greste

Missing relevant facts
This article is missing facts which would enable the reader to understand why Egypt has been so keen to imprison Al-Jazeera journalists:
 * Al-Jazeera is based in Qatar
 * Qatar strongly supported the Muslim Brotherhood during Morsi's reign - http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2014/0418/Behind-Qatar-s-bet-on-the-Muslim-Brotherhood
 * Egypt's current rulers bitterly resent this support

Hence the refernces to Greste being a pawn in a geopolitical power play. Joining the dots: Egypt is desperate to squash the Muslim Brotherhood, and to that end will try to discredit any organisation who looks like it might support them or provide support for them. These attempts are probably for domestic consumption, so what looks corrupt and inept to outsiders is probably a calculated political move inside Egypt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreclos (talk • contribs) 09:27, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
