Marketers have higher Approval Ratings . Sorry, it is true. You know who is not a fan of hollywoods d. C. Focus . Iran. They are making their own version of argo. They call the story that ben affleck told inaccurate. Chris lawrence, cnn, washington. Thank you, see you back here in an hour, here is wolf. Im wolf blitzer in washington. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world to a special edition of the situation room. For the next hour ill take you behind the scenes to my extraordinary trip to egypt. To see if democracy is taking hold or being threatened. I had some very tough questions for egypts new president. Stand by for morning exclusive reporting. I have covered the middle east for decades, but learned a lot during my trip to egypt, i saw firsthand how one of the United Statess most important friends in the middle east is struggling after its revolution two years ago. I spent more than an hour talking exclusively with the egyptian president , Mohamed Morsi. He welcomed me to his president ial palace in cairo. And i toured the citys famous Tahrir Square, where the arab spring demonstrations changed the course of history. I stood in Tahrir Square days ago, the symbol of the revolution was largely deserted. It looked very different two years ago, during those intense days leading up to the overthrow of the egyptian president , Hosni Mubarak. Tanks and armored vehicles, and snipers all over the place. Hundreds of egyptian protesters killed. And then it was over. The arab spring had come to egypt. Those were days of high optimism. I was in egypt with secretary of state Hillary Clinton a few weeks after the revolution. We walked around Tahrir Square with little security. Egyptians were thrilled to see her. I remember the near euphoria when she went to the nearby u. S. Ambassador to thank the american diplomats for all their hard work during those difficult days. Madam secretary, what do you think about Tahrir Square . Well, it was very exciting and moving for me to go to Tahrir Square and have some sense of what those amazing days must have been like here in cairo. And i am so looking forward to helping in any way that we can, in this transformation, and all the work that needs to be done. Reporter that was then, this is egypt now, huge concrete blocks surround all the entrances to the u. S. Embassy. That reads free egypt, free palestine. No america, last september, antiamerican protesters stormed the compound, scaling the walls and burning the American Flag. President obama had to personally phone egyptian president morsi to get the Egyptian Military and police finally to stop the assault and protect the american staff. Security is very tight at the embassy now. Come on over here, you can see we can walk over. You can see the barricades outside the embassy, and if you take a look right behind the barricades you can see the American Flag flying on the u. S. Embassy grounds. It is a huge complex over there, one of the largest u. S. Embassies in the world. And you can see more barricades over here, where only what half a block or so from Tahrir Square. Were heading over there right now. I went back to Tahrir Square with cnns ian lee, who is based in cairo and covered the revolution. About 60 yards, 70 yards, you have the American Embassy this way. Reporter there were folks still living in tents, but no traffic. Give you a little tour of Tahrir Square, were going to walk around, we can see the tents. There are folks still here. But this is a lot different than it used to be. This is completely different, right now we just have remnants of the protests that we saw, leading up to the constitutional referendum, people are really upset with president Mohamed Morsi and wanted the cancellation of the referendum. This is not what were seeing right now is not really popular among the people. If you go outside of Tahrir Square, most people say it should be opened and functioning again, the heart of the city. But again, there are still a lot of people that are upset with the president. Reporter so these folks here, in these tentss these are the opposition to president morsi . Yes, a lot of them are the opposition, but they dont make up all the opposition. A lot of the opposition makes up poor and wealthy people. Reporter along the graffiti, it tells another story. I took a walk with a guide here in cairo. Lets take a little walk down all this graffiti. Tell us what were seeing over here. Well, you know one of the key demands of the revolution was to clean up the police. Because of the criminal activity of the police and the nefarious activities involved. So here you see the police are still criminal. So they have not restructured the interior yet. You still have massacres and violations of human rights. Reporter these were some of the People Killed during the revolution . Yes, and afterward, as well. Then you have the president in the garb of the pharaoh. Reporter president Hosni Mubarak. Pharaoh no, here, morsi. Reporter president morsi, oh, i see, yes. And it is invalid. Reporter so these are antipresident morsi graffiti. Yes, and then you have in red, that means no, for for the constitution of the brothers. Reporter stand by for my exclusive interview with the egyptian president , Mohamed Morsi. Do his critics risk being thrown in jail . It has been two years since the egyptians set the tone for the arab spring, they took to the streets, toppled the longtime leader, and paved the way for elections. The leader is a longtime Muslim Brotherhood leader, who is president. He has been accused of steering egypt back towards a dictatorship. I had exclusives questions for the president. During the lengthy interview with the egyptian president , Mohamed Morsi, i raised the case of three prominent egyptians who sharply criticized morsi, the nobel prize prize winner. The former head of the arab league. And egypts Top Television satirist, the socalled jon stewart of egypt, who has made a lot of fun of morsi. Their cases underscore the thought that they could destroy the promise of real democracy and freedom. That raises real concerns, what is going on in egypt . Democracy in egypt and freedom are abided by, and opposition in egypt is respected and appreciated. For those to express their opinions in egypt now and in the future, and to be a true partner in opinion and vision. Effective criticism, and constructive criticism. All of this is a right guaranteed for opposition in egypt. There are some challenges and are some acts that dont comply with the law that is addressed in the judicial system. And the law and the president of the republic. It is not my right to interfere in what the procedures of the courts and what gets applied to and applied by the law. Reporter and they could criticize you without fear of going to jail . This happens every day. Anyone can say from the opposition whatever they want for the sake of the interests of the nation. And no one should be afraid of the opposition. Reporter that is very encouraging to hear that from you, the president of egypt. And as a journalist, i want freedom of the press. You want freedom of the press. There is a case, though, of the satirist, yusef, who is criticizing you and the government. Reporter whoever criticizes me has to legal right to do so. This is the issue that gets handled within the judicial system and the courts. Not to me. This is a fullfledged system, and therefore i welcome any criticism. I welcome every opinion. I welcome every view and i push everyone to work. But just to tie up this issue, yusef, mohamed, they dont have to worry about going to jail . Reporter they are egyptians, they are part of my family from egypt. There is no way that any harm can come to them because of their opposition, there is no possibility to talk about jail, according to the law. There is no possible way to discuss this. Reporter we called to get his reaction, he says he has heard about the investigations but says so far he has not been summon summoned. He says he is worried about the behind the scenes actions taking place. If the president says he is not linked to the lawsuit, it is music to my ears, he says, i have to believe him and thank him and say i am glad he has nothing to do with it. And we got this reaction. I wish to thank the president for the assurance he has publicly given to cnn, i hope it applies to all egyptians who should enjoy freedom. There is another great fear, one expressed by 10 of the population. There have been church burnings, including this one in alexandria. They worry that the Muslim Brotherhoods new influence will hurt their ability to practice religion freely. Here again, morsi tried to reassure them. How worried will these people be that egypt will leave democracy and become a totalitarian islamist state. There is no objection to democracy, we live, rich and poor, all egyptians to new heights of democracy. There will be no going backwards, not to the previous ruling. This is what i abide by and insist on. We gain new heights in the context of applying and practicing democracy, with complete freedom. Reporter but you know there are a lot of egyptians, christians, cops, who are very frightened frightened and worried that their country, egypt, is moving in the wrong direction. Those people are my beloveds. And the children of the nation, the christians, the muslims, there is no worry at all because the rights of all egyptians are equal. The same rights for everybody. And they have the same obligations. The children of egypt cant be divided at all because of their beli believes, practices, were all egyptians. Reporter what is your message to them about the religious freedom of cops, of christian cops in egypt . The freedom of belief and the freedom of practicing rituals of worship, for christians and muslims, everybody who has a belief. For the first time in history, there is a special constitution for christians and jews, and the right to resort to and return to their private matters, that subscribe to their believes and religion. Reporter one of your advisers, speaking of egyptianjews, caused controversy the other day when he suggested that egyptian jews living in israel should come back to egypt. These words were said in a specific context and the one who said it, said it in this way to demonstrate what he wanted to say from his point of view. But there are many Media Outlets that removed it from the general context. However, he is no longer an adviser to me because now he is a member of the legislative counsel in the sharia counsel, it is not right to group the legislative counsel and the executive counsel together in this stage because he is not my adviser now. Reporter cnn correspondent ian lee has been there for several years, and speaks arabic. He says there are serious divisions in the country. So talk about this. On one side you have the legislation, it has been disorganized. They seem to have somewhat of an organization. And on the other side you have the Muslim Brotherhood, you have the ultraconservative salafis. You have two camps, both sides, who believe theyre right. Both sides trying for power. Reporter one expert says the future of egypt will largely depend on the economy. And were watching it obviously closely to see what is going on. I think if the economy recovers, all of this will disappear. Reporter morsis bottom line, please be patient with the new egypt. He has only been in power for six months. Real change takes time. You probably saw the Time Magazine issue, where the president of t United States is the person of the year. But youre not that far behind. Because number four, egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, you can see right there. And you read the article. I assume you read the article . Yes. Reporter about you, and there was an interesting line, and ill just get your Quick Reaction to it. Mohamed morsi, the power broker, egypts new president won kudos abroad and curses at home. What he does next could determine the shape of the middle east. What he does next could determine the shape of the middle east. You appreciate the responsibility you have right now . The victory of the arab spring and the respect of peoples will. This world should realize that the will of the people will win over and will prevail. So lets cooperate for the sake of stability and not interfere in the affairs of egypt. Peace for all, stability, freedom for all within their nation. The arab spring will win over. And this area shall civilize, but of course, we cant work in isolation from the world. We love this world and we want to live in peace. Well work on that, and the will of the people from the region well prevail and win over in the near future. Reporter president morsi tells me he is planning to come to washington to meet with president obama very soon. Also in the process, he will make a stunning request to the United States about the fate of an islamic cleric convicted in the First World Trade Center bombing. That and more coming up.

Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi is the highest profile leader to emerge from the arab spring movement. But there is a serious concern for the Obama Administration which relies heavily on egypt as a key ally in the region. I asked president morsi about that during my exclusive interview with him at the president ial palace in cairo. And he revealed his plans to visit the United States. When will you come to the United States . When will you meet with president obama . What do you think of president obama . God willing, i will plan for this trip. There is no set date yet. But it will most likely be before the end of the First Quarter of this year. President obama is an elected president by the American People and he grants the will of the American People by working for the interests of the American People. And this is the American Peoples right in their president. I respect him and i value him. He played an effective and an Important Role in the ceasefire against gaza, and cooperated with us in a big way. Im still in Constant Contact with him. When we meet there well be chances to talk about scientific research, manufacturing, production, investments, tourism. So you plan to come to the United States, god willing, between the First Quarter and end of march . Before the end of the First Quarter, god willing, i will visit as you said i will visit the United States of america. And i will be happy with this visit. I also asked president morsi about the blind egyptian cleric, who was convicted. Omar rahman is serving a life sentence. President morsi says he plans to ask president obama to free him for humanitarian reasons. Just clarify your position on what you want the u. S. Government to do as far as the blind sheik is concerned, who is being held in prison in the United States, convicted for his involvement in the blowing up of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing incident. I want him to be free. But i respect the law and the rule of law in egypt and the United States. What i am talking about is not a violation. I dont want a violation of the rule of law, but there are also many humane aspects. There could be things like visitation, assistance, visiting his family, children, he is an old sheik and sick and blind. We need to respect that. Is there a chance for him to be freed . I wish this. But considering my respect and appreciation for the american rule of law and the american government, our relationship, egypts relationship with america deserves that these issues be reviewed, if that is okay, according to the law. If it is not possible, and i hope that it is possible, if it was impossible, then these humane as aspects need to be taken into account for him to be in a humane prison. To be able to have visitors, to be able to have company. To be able to visit with his sons and children. For his family to visit. For us to see him. For people to see him and know how he is doing. Because he is a man. An old man, and he deserves full care. I wish that there could be a big possibility for the American Administration to look into this matter about this sheik who is very old. Without there being i dont intend on violating the rule of law in any place, and i dont like anyone asking me to violate the rule of law in my own country. But the humane aspects, at the very least need to be guaranteed. Will you make this appeal directly to president obama when you see him . When i meet with him, i will talk to him about this issue. I also asked president morsi where he stands on the vital questions of peace in the middle east. Will he continue to honor the peace treaty egypt has with israel . Does he believe israel has a right to exist . That is coming up. Why do toys for tots and hasbro trust duracell to power their donated toys . Duralock power preserve.

My reporters notbook on my extraordinary trip to egypt. I got to look the countrys new president , Mohamed Morsi in the eye, and get an idea on where he stands to situations in egypt, including egypts resolutions with israel. Here is more of the exclusive interview. Israel came very close to a fullscale war only weeks ago when its long conflict with the group, hamas, reignited. Egyptian president morsi played a role in brokering peace. I want peace for egyptians and the region. Reporter it was a very tense time in the region, and i was there when a truce agreement was reached. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton, new islamist governments announce a major deal between israel and hamas. Reporter the president s role in the agreement earned him praise from president obama, secretary of state Hillary Clinton and israeli leaders. He is doing a good job, you believe . I think he is doing a responsible job from his point of view. I dont want anybody thinking he is not acting his heart is somewhere else. But his behavior is responsible. And because responsibility is needed for everybody, not only for us and for them. Reporter now, morsi says he wants to reconcile the differences among the palestinians themselves, that may help lead to a longterm peace. Do you believe that a twostate solution that will allow israel and palestine to live side by side . The palestinians have the full right, without any interference from anyone, to decide whatever they want for themselves. And now im looking forward, and im working on achieving reconciliation between the palestinians, between fatah, other incidents. I support them in what they decide. They have the right, they own the right. It is only they who have the right to decide on their destiny. And by the way, this is stated in the peace treaty. The palestinians decide on what they want. Ill respect their decisions. Reporter morsi says he has invit invit invited abbas, on the critical question, does israel have the right to exist . Israel is a u. N. Member, so the question seems strange, so the party and place who needs a place are the palestinians. I am not discussing the bias of one against the other, but im talking about the real situation that exists now. Israel is a member of the u. N. , the palestinians have the right to be a member. That is why im talking about reconciliation among palestinians. It is not possible to achieve peace and stability, unless it is for everyone involved. So if the palestinians continue to suffer, if they continue to suffer from attacks. If the palestinians remain without a state. If the palestinians remain without a full acknowledgment from the whole world that they have full rights this means peace will not be complete in the middle east and the world. What do we want for this world . We came with a message of peace. We want peace, but we want real peace. And a peace treaty. It is stated at the beginning of it that peace should be comprehensive and just. And this matter is known and it must happen. And it has not come true yet. We want a comprehensive and just peace for this world. I have covered the middle east for decades, i was cnns senior White House Correspondent during president clintons peace summit with president rabin, and the Palestinian Leader back in 1993. Every american president who has tried to ease middle east tensions has found that face to face talks can certainly make a huge difference. Under what circumstances would you be willing to meet face to face with the israeli president , perez . When peace prevails in the middle east, when palestinians take their rights, when they see there is no palestinian blood shed and the rights are not wasted. And there is one government, it is stable, with free will, land and borders. The whole world should realize there can never be peace without having peace for all, and without having all rights for the palestinians, full rights, according to their own will. This is something that the whole world should realize. I cannot move forward, and it is not possible for me to move forward outside the will of the egyptian people. The egyptian people can see, listen and live and feel and understand. And they do see the palestinians as their brothers. They can see their sufferings, et cetera. This matter requires longstanding and strenuous efforts, and the will and understanding of the egyptian people. I cannot work outside the will of the egyptian people. The Public Opinion in egypt now sees that the palestinians are marginalized. And that gaza is still destroyed and has not been reconstructed. And they dont have a state, they dont have complete passports or freedom of movement. They dont have a central bank or armed forces or a real capitol. They suffer a lot every day. Whenhe palestinians get their full rights then we can look towards the egyptian people and see what they want their president to do. And the president will act based on the will of the egyptian people, not alone. In other words, there o if such a meeting happens, there will have to be a wait, until there is an agreement between the palestinians and israelis. Between the world, there are diplomatic resolutions, and Everybody Knows that. So i see that this is not the place for this question now. I respect the peace treaty. Im keen on what egypt has signed previously at the international level. I respect the will of the world, but this does not conflict at all with my support of the palestinians and their fullfledged rights, and that they obtain them. When this happens, the egyptians will express their views. Old hatreds can explode at any moment, i saw it on the day the current treaty was reached. It is supposed to be eight days of terror on both sides. But the hours leading up to the big announcement are marred by violence, including on a bus, right in the middle of tel aviv. Egypt made its peace two decades ago. The two countries signed the tre treaty. It survived all of these years, and morsi insists he will continue to honor it. For about 30 years, the United States has had about 700 american soldiers as part of a Multinational Peacekeeping force in sinai. Do you want those troops to remain in sinai . Egypt is a large member, older than the league of nations. As a state and institution, egypt knows the meaning of International Organizations and respecting agreements and treaties and international laws. We have ambassadors in almost all countries of the world. We respect and appreciate International Institutions and the international law. And we cooperate with it. We develop and move forward, and we want the world to cooperate with us also. Therefore, we appreciate these agreements. We appreciate those treaties. We respect them. We retain them. There is no room for criticizing them or talking about anything against them as long as were all committed to the content of these agreements. All the parties that seen any agreement or treaty are committed to them. If any Party Breaches these commitments, every party involved needs to confront itself and be honest with itself. But we respect all the agreements that egypt signed previously. And egypt is moving forward with the International Community. And we respect the International Community and the will of the International Community. I saw firsthand how cairos Tahrir Square has deteriorated. And i asked president morsi about that and the state of egypts security. [ male announcer ] jill and her mouth have lived a great life. But she has some dental issues shes not happy about. So i introduced jill to crest prohealth for life. Selected for people over 50. Prohealth for life is a toothpaste that defends against tender, inflamed gums, sensitivity and weak enamel. Conditions people over 50 experience. Crest prohealth for life. So jill can keep living the good life. Crest. Life opens up when you do. President morsi wanted to speak mostly in arabic, but we did speak in english, as well. Remember, he spent seven years in the United States, and studied at the university of Southern California where he dot his doctorate. Well talk in english a little bit. I want to show you what i saw during my trip to Tahrir Square. It is dirty, dismal, depressing. And i raised that with president morsi during the interview. I was at Tahrir Square today, it was pretty quiet. I didnt see many demonstrations. Yes, it is. But sometimes the media is exaggerating things, the international media. There is competition also, in tourism in the world. This competition, too, means some of it is too exaggerate the situation, and to try to show as if security in egypt is something wrecked. Which is not correct. Yeah. We dont have more than one per square of land which is suffering from the demonstration, sometimes, not all the times. But the rest of egypt the rest of cairo is quiet and good. If you get this loan, this 4. 8 billion loan . That helps, that helps, doesnt solve the problem, it helps. What is the most important thing when you come to the United States you would like to hear from the u. S. Government . The most important thing for me is to have real friendship between egyptians and americans. So what does that mean . Yeah, what that means is mutual balance with the relationships. Mutual benefits. Now, i need the technology transferred. I need scientific research. I need expertise in Different Directions to help. I have resources. Now experience with the United States, as far as planning, as far as implementing, as far as producing in Different Directions, real production. So there is a lot of things that i want to transfer from the United States to egypt. So you will ask the president , the congress, when you come to washington. Yeah. You will ask for this type of assistance . Yes, of course. Also, egypt is very important to the United States. Egypt is very important to the region. Yes, yes. As i said in our interview before, it is the most important country in the arab world. Yes, it is, yes, it is. So this important country should be helped. You should stand to the side, to the peoples side. I heard rumors that you are thinking of expanding the suez canal, is that true . No, not expanding, improving. What do you want to do . Im talking about investments along the suez exacanal. We have investments, and this can be an area where you can in vest have investors from outside and from the egyptians, also, can make real production area, industry. We i want to have this area as a real advance, developed area along the su you z canal. So youre looking for Foreign Investments . Yes, why not. Not only from the u. S. From china, from russia, from the arabs, from the egyptians, outside, from europe, from well, you know, the the real key entrance to africa is egypt, the logistic help to investors from africa can start from egypt. We have the suez canal, the mediterranean sea, we can go with the people from africa to sudan, to libya give me a thought about the arab spring in north africa and the middle east. Because i came here after Hosni Mubarak was gone, with secretary of state Hillary Clinton. And i remember we got up, without much security. We just walked around cairo. She walked into Tahrir Square. People were applauding her. It was a very optimistic moment, right there, almost two years ago. Almost two years ago, but then all of a sudden, things got gloomy. This is normal, when you move from a dictatorship, from corruption, big corruption, to new position, to freedom, to democracy, to well, a case where you try to prevent, to stop, to block corruption. When people are moving like this, and they are in big numbers like in egypt, and they have real daily needs and they need food and shelter everywhere. And they want the freedom to be completed. And they worry about what they had in the past and they are afraid from going back to that. I think this kind of activities this kind of demonstrations, these kind of trying to resist to some extent any kind of feelings that we are probably will go back to some extent. All of these, i consider the situation, it is a normal situation. And the people gaining by time experience. And how to transfer the feelings and to the real production. So youre optimistic . Very much optimistic. How long is this going to take . Well, i would say to start real stability and development, the steps may take six months or a year. But to reach what we want, i think we may take five or ten years to reach 60, 70 of what we want. We talk economics now. We have to be patient. Yes, of course. Youre talking about egypt. Youre talking about tens of ye years of corruption. Youre talking about absence of freedom, completely. You are talking about the elections all the time. No democracy. No will of the people. Everything goes down and away from the people. So when you change, it takes time. They even put you in jail. You spent a few months in jail . Yeah, of course. How many months were you in jail . Seven months. What was that like . Bad. Very bad. But i mean im talking about freedom. When you are free when you are in jail you appreciate freedom when youre out of jail. So you appreciate freedom, having lived through that seven months. Do you think anybody in this month would take freedom . Some people have had it their whole life and take it for granted. So you appreciate freedom. I think our grandchildren will take it for granted. But we have been suffering together, and then we are moving together to the new position, real freedom, democracy. Good welfare. As i said, were counting on you. Yeah, well, lets help each other as much as we can, thank you. We posted my interview with president morsi on line, alone with beside the scenes photos, taken by my producer, linda roth. Check it out. After listening to president morsi, here is the question, can the United States trust him . Well stanley cup about that and the leadership. That is next. E these geico adve. So were taking you behind the scenes. This coffee cup, for example, is computer animated. Its not real. Geicos Customer Satisfaction is quite real though. This computeranimated coffee tastes dreadful. Geico. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more on car insurance. Someone get me a latte will ya, please . We have been showing you my travels through egypt and my interview with president morsy. Our National Security contributor has been watching and listening to it all, she is joining us now. Fran, what do you think . Is this president of egypt somebody the u. S. Can trust . That remains to be seen wolf. He was saying the right thing to you about the press and the people. But frankly he will be judged by his actions and what he can achieve. He is right to be saying that we need to be patient. It took a long time for women to get in the vote or African Americans to get the vote in this country. We need to understand that democracy is a process, it takes time. But he also has made statements about the need for a greater influence of law. We will have to judge him by his results and actions. What did you think, he said that when he meets with president obama, he will bring up the subject of the blind clare i can. Tip oneill former speaker of the house said that all politics is local. You have to understand who that statement is intended for. That is a domestic political statement. He clearly knows the answer is going to be absolutely not. There will be no discussion, i expect, on the part of the American Administration. Remember, if you go back and look at the interview, president morsy was saying its about the process, he will ask, he will raise it. But at the end, its about hu n humanitarian treatment. The briend clare i can gets medical attention and nutritional attention and he is treated humanly. And to the extend that he is looking for those assure answnc the americans will give him that. They will not transfer the blind sheik back to egypt. Do you expect continued economic and military aid to egypt. Close to 2 billion a year, most of it purchasing u. S. Made weapons. Aircraft, tanks, is that going to continue . Absolutely, wolf, egypt remaining, no matter the president , remains an important ally in the region. I thought it was a little unfortunate, in the interview, he talks about, when you asked about engagement with israel, he hedged and said he can go as far as the will of the egyptian people. And i say, leadership is about leading your people. President morsy, one would hope can mature to a point as a leader where he can sort of help lead the will of the egyptian people to greater engagement with israel. As opposed to the people letting him know when its time. Thank you. Thank you. My final thoughts on egypts president. Why not make lunch more than just lunch .
