    Ambassador Rice: Egypt must release Americans

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is keeping up the Obama administration's pressure on Egypt to release 19 Americans facing trial on allegations of encouraging unrest in the country.

    Susan Rice tells the "CBS This Morning" show the U.S. citizens involved in the dispute have been working with efforts to build a more democratic society and "have done absolutely nothing wrong."

    Her statement comes in the wake of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's warning Saturday that Egypt could face a cutoff of U.S. financial aid because of the problem.

    Rice said Washington has been talking to Cairo constantly, including "in the last days and hours." She said the situation "has serious consequences for our bilateral relationship."

      Stop financial aid to all those backward countries... they did have zoo keepers at one time!

      "have done absolutely nothing wrong." Well, that would depend on the laws of whichever country you are in. According to our laws, they have done absolutely nothing wrong. But according to Egyptian law, apparently, they HAVE done something wrong. Gotta be careful when you're digging in somebody else's garden. I don't have much sympathy for Americans that go about the world espousing freedom and democracy in places that have tyrants for leaders.

      Cut off the money, then give all Americans 72 hours to get out of the country,and if they get taken again, let them die, like the idiots they really are!

      Susan Rice should shut her stupid hysterical mouth... let the law take its course... if they are innocent they will be freed, if they are guilty they will be punished.... stop meddling for the sake of some creeps who can't mind their own business

      Susan Rice had her first orgasm in 20 years after she killed ghadafi's 12 year old granddaughter.... she is a sick evil person and should really be in a mental hospital where they can handle people like her.

      Democracy isn't it wonderful.

      We need a real leader. Reagan or Kennedy wouldn't put up with this nonsense for
      a NY second. Instead we have invisible Obama at the helm - well, I mean at the
      golf course or on the campaign trail.

      These folks are heroes. They believe so much in democracy that they were willing to get hurt and arrested in order to see Mubaraks' despotic reign end. The Egyptians should be thanking them.

      Susan looks like she should be serving burrito's at a local Taco Shop, not dictating to other Countries what they can and cannot do.

      OPINION: Islam does not take kindly to infidels trying to upset their apple cart. We should not try and change their ideology any more than we want them trying to change ours. Therefore, I think we should take our money and go home and the Islamists here should do the same. End Trans.

      Yes they did something wrong.They are Americans trying to to force their beliefs in another country,that they are not citizens.It's like the Arabs pushing for Sharia law in the U.S.A.

      If the Arabs had half a brain beginning with the Saudis, they would now ask Egypt to send all Americans to trial, close its Embassy in Washington and screw its aid. China will step into the breach as will Russia who lost out after Sadat invited the US on Nasser's death.The Saudis for self preservation's sake will fill the gap in US aid. Egypt is the largest and a moderate Arab state on the brink of a theocracy because of Hillary Clinton's #$%$ no brain policies.In all such adversity comes opportunities. It is now up to the Arabs to redeem their dignity their independence and brutally rid themselves of agents of western powers within.
