EGYPT PARDONS TWO AL JAZEERA JOURNALISTS: “Mr. Fahmy, Mr. Mohamed and a third Al Jazeera colleague, Peter Greste, were arrested in December 2013 in the room they had used as an office at the Marriott Hotel in Cairo, and charged with broadcasting false news.”

The stakes are severe for those accused of doing that sort of thing in Egypt — unlike America, where aging Hollywood superstars make movies celebrating those who broadcast false news.
