First casualty


The Egyptian army accuses the Muslim Brothers who were massacred yesterday morning outside the facility where Mohammad Morsi is being detained of being "terrorists". In so doing, they are really putting themselves in the position of President Assad, or President Putin, and it's pretty disappointing. The MB may be lousy at government, but they are not terrorists.

If the Brothers in turn are telling lies to portray the army as baby-killers that is pretty reprehensible too.
But it seems we only have the army's word for it. Ugh.
Allegory of Truth, by Stefano Mulinari, 1774. Identified by the website,  Courtauld Institute, as "after Michelangelo" but I really can't see it and can't find any explanatory information.
