Egypt tells U.S. lifting emergency laws needs time
2005-09-27
Egypt's Prime Minister Ahmad Nazif told a top U.S. envoy his government was committed to lifting a 24-year-old state of emergency but that the process needed more time.
"Nope. Nope. 24 years ain't nearly enough time. Maybe another 24..."

#2  We need to determine how much time needs to elapse before an emergency becomes a chronic condition. I wil think about it and issue a fatwa in the near future.

#1  Yep, Considering how many 'emergency' acts are in effect in the US that permits the federal government to do things which would be open to 'unconstitutional' assumption of powers. Shame on Egypt *cough*.
