Hillary Hits Reset Button with Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has confirmed the Obama Administration will resume contact with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Clinton, who is currently in Hungary, told reporters during a press conference today that these limited contacts "would emphasize the importance of non-violence, democratic freedoms, and the rights of women and minorities."

And why wouldn't they? Because when I think of the Muslim Brotherhood, non-violence, democratic freedoms, and the rights of women and minorities immediately spring to mind. After all, the Muslim Brotherhood is a "largely secular" organization that is committed to progress just like Syria's "reformer" Bashar Assad.
