Three Americans held in Egypt protest 'firebomb'
CAIRO -- Three young Americans were reportedly arrested in Cairo on suspicion of throwing Molotov cocktails at security forces during ongoing protests.
Egyptian state TV showed footage of the three young men who were reportedly arrested Monday near Tahrir Square after being accused of taking part in street battles with security forces.
The US embassy in Cairo was unable to confirm the arrests but said it was aware of the reports.
"There have been a number of reports of Americans being detained, and we are currently looking into that," David Lynfield, a spokesman at the embassy told NewsCore.
The three Americans held in Egypt are shown on Egypt state TV. They are accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at security forces during protests that have rocked the country.
The Americans were enrolled at the American University in Cairo.
Fellow students in Egypt identified the three on Twitter, and appealed directly to US lawmakers for help in freeing them. The three were named as Luke Gates of Bloomington, Ind., Derrik Sweeney of Northridge, Calif., and Greg Porter of Pennsylvania. The identities could not be independently confirmed.
The television pictures showed the three young men lined up against a wall and a table with several ID cards, including an Indiana driver's license.
"The three boys were throwing Molotov cocktails and had no passports on them when they were picked up," CNN quoted Adel Saeed, a spokesman for Egypt's general prosecutor's office, as saying.
Protests have raged since Saturday around the iconic square, the center of the revolution that brought down the former president Hosni Mubarak in February, leaving 26 people dead.
A major protest was set to take place later Tuesday in the square. The ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) was locked in crisis talks with a number of political groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood.
Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who leads the SCAF, was due to address the nation later Tuesday.

Those dumbass leftards just never learn..... wonder if they will ever see the outside of a prison again in their lifetimes???
"CHANGE" you can step in..... My dogs have created more shovel ready jobs than the self appointed Messiah!!! Number of shallow, inadequate, hypocritical Leftards who have me on BOZO---3.......... That means I'm doing my job correctly !!!!!!!!!
Because you're defending an Empire that is in decline:
US response to egypt chaos:

I think as long as we are paying for and fighting wars for our special friend in the Middle-East, then the American people should enjoy the same social programs & medical care that the people of that nation enjoy.
Been sayin' this for 10 years now.
Always good to be reminded.
"If you are depressed, try to figure out which part stems from your own personal life and background, and which part stems from the privations of living in American society. In the latter case, this will be obvious if there's not enough money to make ends meet, or you've lost your house, or you can't afford proper medical treatment, and so on. If you can figure out which part is personal and which part is not, you're ahead of the game.
If you can separate the two, the personal and the societal, you are likely to see with increasing clarity what a god-awful, heart-breaking, soul-crushing experience living in contemporary America truly is. What is missing in America? We might better ask what isn't missing? For most working or retired Americans, just about every damn thing a human naturally values is absentsufficient resources to live on, meaningful and interesting work, large, loving extended families, freedom from predators, a sense of community, you name it. For example, see my recent post America A Swindler's Paradise."

I learned a long time ago that stupid people will do anything so it wouldn't surprise me that it's true....... they're stupid for being in the country at this particular time and stupid for going to that protest against the government.....

I remember in the mid-90s, a couple of dumb ass American kids were caught vandalizing cars in Singapore.
Singapore punishes property crimes with a combination of restitution and corporal punishment -- including being "canned" where a guy in a black martial arts uniform beats your back with a bamboo cane. Singapore learned this from the British, who used to whip people...
The American media went ballistic. The White House even got involved.
Luckily Singapore punished the kids for their crime and afterwards they were sent home.
I wonder what punishment is for fire bombing the police in Egypt?
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure
