More El-Amir clan members: Ayman El-Amir (possibly connected to other El-Amirs) This guy could be egyptian spy, as he takes a role of correspondent and ex director of UN radio/tv.
He writes about US diplomatic 'offensive' (in positive sense) to Middle-East just weeks after BHO was sworn in. So whatever BHO did undermine in US, it started right after he was sworn in. Publicly probably touted as progress in middle-east tension, but reality is that he was a mole, undermining US.
Messengers from Washington

A slew of senior U.S. officials swept the Middle East recently to prepare the ground for President Barack Obama's new strategy of engagement and dialogue to address the challenging problems of the region. Led by new Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the diplomatic pageantry included George Mitchell, the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, the State Department's top Middle East expert Jeffrey Feltman, and senior National Security Council official Daniel Shapiro, both of whom were assigned to open up the Syrian track—a member of the Bush administration's trilateral "axis of evil".
Dennis Ross, the administration's special adviser to the Gulf, and Iran, is being kept in the wings for the right moment to enter on stage. They were all preceded by visits of four congressional delegations that focused on Syria, the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.
The United States' diplomatic offensive came six weeks after President Obama was sworn in.
