To the Editor:

    To write that "the only real inconvenience during Mr. Sisi’s consolidation of power had appeared to be Western censure" is to mistake el-Sisi for Egypt. el-Sisi has consolidated his coup by arresting, torturing, executing and gunning political dissidents down in the street.  This paper should blush to give him the applause that even the U.N. General Assembly did not.
