#2 Morsi simply did not move fast enough with governmental and social change; ie, his purge of the military, his sweeping executive orders, his control of the media, his spying on millions of civilians, his Egyptian IRS intimidation, lawfare, thought-police, social justice, his gov't controlled economy, or his weapons and ammunition confiscation.

In addition to the fact our intelligence services missed it again, I hope we can learn something from the Egyptian experience.

Folks here at the Burg did, B.

Yes, Nixon's the one.

#10 Nixon bugged just the White House and the Watergate Hotel. Looked what happened to him.
