Mmmm, so far what I"ve been able to glean from various
sources have mentioned muslim on Christian violence as one
of the catalysts that set all this off in Egypt, and that
points directly to the MB and the Qaedas.

Many do, but there's the mb fly in the ointment.

I said much the same then, and for the same reasons.

Acknowledged and agreed.  You notice in the joint committee
report of congress a bunch of information suppressed,
because they don't really want to acknowledge that publicly.

Anybody who's read on the subject a bit knows what was being obliquely 
referenced in the joint committee report, but
heavily redacted from the public version.

NOt even all of the FBI counterterror folks were aware of it however.  See 
above.
