Egypt's military chief of staff on Sunday denied any deals between the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) and Islamist groups.
During a meeting with Egyptian intellectuals, Chief of Staff Samy Anan stressed that the military council keeps all political groups at an equal distance.
Press reports had said the military council struck a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's most organized political group, in which the Brotherhood would secure gains in the upcoming parliamentary elections in return for supporting the SCAF.
Excuse me, but exactly how could the SCAT..er..SCAF offer "gains" in advance of an honest election? Don't the voters determine winners and losers? They deny the story...
