   Egyptian  military  rulers met Tuesday with a delegation of pro-reform
   politicians,   intellectuals,   and  businessmen  to  talk  about  the
   transition to civilian rule.
   The delegation included pro-reform leader Mohamed ElBaradei and former
   Arab  League  chief Amr Moussa, who some Egyptians are already touting
   as a possible presidential candidate.
   Media  reports  say  the  talks focused on constitutional reform and a
   timetable for new elections.
   Egypt's  transitional  government  has  yet  to decide whether to hold
   presidential elections or parliamentary elections first.
   Some  politicians  are  calling for a president to be elected before a
   parliament so no single party winds up dominating politics.
   The Egyptian military's Supreme Council has been governing the country
   since a popular uprising forced President Hosni Mubarak to resign last
   month.
