CAIRO [MENL] -- Five months after ousting President Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's
military wants to maintain its dominant role.
Egypt's ruling military council has been drafting a constitution that
would ensure its dominance over any government elected in 2011. The draft
would block transparency of the defense budget and enable the military to
intervene in Egyptian politics.
