I just read this and it really puzzles me
Ashley Alman in the Huffington Post is reporting that President Obama has secretly suspended aid to Egypt. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
A spokesman for Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the head of the Appropriations State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee, told The Daily Beast that the Obama administration has decided to withhold aid from Egypt.
Obama administration lawyers decided it was best to act as if a coup had been designated, without publicly making the declaration, (snip)"The decision was we're going to avoid saying it was a coup, but to stay on the safe side of the law, we are going to act as if the designation has been made for now,"
Things like this really make me wonder.
