It as much of a fact as the other side of this argument is. Care to show where the US had issued orders to Egyptian Security forces to torture egyptians and kill them? They dont take orders from us, and we dont take orders from them.
The article in the OP is misleading to put it mildly. How was the US directly involved in what the article is talking about.

This thread is full of win. I am really curious to see if those recent tweets are legit or not. I did a translation on the original article from that tweet and this is what it said:
Hani Barakat wrote: security expert said Khaled Mattawa that the state security apparatus is a technical sense of internal security and there is no state without internal security apparatus with a different Tzmyate. And defines its powers of parliament and therefore, the State Security in Egypt has become an organ is rejected popular and must establish an internal security concepts different after the parliamentary elections after that there has been discontent with much on the security of the state and the direction of revenge for revenge as a result of any practices unconstitutional that took place in the former regime through this device. And indicates that for the recent events it must know that there are hidden hands with interests in undermining security in Egypt. And whether the state security apparatus to burn himself to get rid of old files he wrought out that this device paralyzed since on January 28 did not hear about his ability or carrying out any arrest of any of the militants in any direction or trend since that date and if the protesters who stormed the buildings, claiming that the state security officers who executed the documents, why they burned the headquarters of the governorates and the existence of this Maiwkd hands hidden. He wrought that there is a beneficiary of the destruction of the Internal Security Agency and the insistence on humiliating and paralyze the ability of the police are represented in the top of the code of symbols Police during the earlier era, pointing out that this security vacuum, which preceded the political vacuum and vacuum-Parliamentary may lead to a state of chaos and if the in this direction is the following stage of sectarian strife and sedition are not on the level of religions, but only on the political level also, which may result in the secretion of seven to nine communities.

Politics isnt about giving orders, its influence and mutual interests. The language might be different but it holds same implications. Plus can you say that US wasn't cooperating with that government fully knowing what was going on? We don't know nothing though, all this is superficial, all I know is that US benefited from Egypt's services and vice-versa.
btw, where did they get that electric shock torture device from? :

The CIA kept hotel rooms in two of the best hotels in New Orleans,
and year around, they kept a suite. It was unique in that it had two bedrooms and one bedroom was where they kept the hidden cameras and I was actually shown the hidden cameras by three men who handled that part of it. They called him Captain George White - he was formerly a doctor. He used to be in the narcotics squad in California and then he became a doctor, and joined the CIA. And then there were two other men who worked with him. They would put me with the subjects who would be filmed (the men) and then when the men would come into town -- I am talking about local politicians, government officials -- anybody who they needed to possibly get something on, keep on file for future reference -- should they need to coerce this person into supporting the projects. Senators, congressmen, anything like that -- if they were in town, they were given this room. They had no reason to think there was anything strange about the room. It didn't look any different than any other room -- it was just one of the better suites in the two hotels.
In Italy, a judge is deciding whether there is enough evidence to try 26 Americans, most believed to be CIA agents, and six Italians in connection with the 2003 kidnapping of Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, known as Abu Omar.
The Muslim cleric, freed last week from a prison in Egypt, wants to sue the former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi for damages, his lawyer said this week.
A Munich court last month issued arrest warrants for 13 suspected CIA agents accused of kidnapping Khaled el-Masri, a German national of Lebanese descent.
EU endorses damning report on CIA
The EU report said the US had operated 1,245 flights
The European parliament has approved a damning report on secret CIA flights, condemning member states which colluded in the operations.
The UK, Germany and Italy were among 14 states which allowed the US to forcibly remove terror suspects, lawmakers said.
The EU parliament voted to accept a resolution condemning member states which accepted or ignored the practice.
The EU report said the CIA had operated 1,245 flights, some taking suspects to states where they could face torture.

Your point of view is basically US has kept a fine line well according to you it must be a very very fine line. btw, Egypt gov only became evil and inhumane only after bridging relations with america and israel, ever since that treaty and the rise of islamic fundamentalism played a role then too.

Arent you guys weirdened out by how MSM ignored the storming into SS HQ and all that stuff? It didnt make the news at all especially considering the stakes involved. Normally I wouldnt complain because Libya is obvious priority but msm are reported on the women's protests that ended badly yet they didnt say anything about the sectarian violence, SS documents and the thugs who are out in the streets.
here is what egypt looks like now after the battle that I believe was created by State Security/NDP:

While I understand the argument you are making, and im not trying to be an ass or anything, but can you show us the documents that support your claims?
I have no doubt the CIA worked with Egyptian security services, just as the Soviets did during the cold war. My argument, again, is the Egyptians are responsible for their actions, not the US.
Egypt is not a democracy, they dont have the same protections as our US constitution, and place a different value on life than what Isreal, China, N. Korea, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, etc etc etc does.
Again, we have diplomatic relations with almost every single nation on this planet. Are we responsible for their actions towards their own citizens?
