then we have this report, claim from one of his aides that he is now being moved to another undisclosed location. i spoke to dr. joseph ulmer a middle east specialist about this earlier. he told me the army is likely to want to keep a very close eye on mohammed morsi. he said they may hold him as some kind of a hostage if the brotherhood, meaning the muslim brotherhood gets wild, then morsi is a good bargaining card to play with. and tonight we are getting reports that the army has, in fact, rounded up and is holding some other officials from the muslim brotherhood. very interesting times indeed, shep. shepard: the next 48 hours are going to be quite something. they have an interim leader but the military is running the show. yeah. this interim leader is the chief justice. the guy really calling the shots is abdel he is the man who made the announcement on state
former president mohammed morsi is being held by the authorities. not under arrest but being held. we don t know which authorities. there are a lot of authorities suddenly. we don t know where he is we are told it s an undisclosed location, which sounds familiar. with us now is ned walker. set former u.s. ambassador to egypt. israel, and the united arab emirates. sir, it s nice to talk to you. thank you. thank you very much. shepard: where are we in this thing, where are we americans in this? we americans are very much concerned about the stability of egypt in the long term implications for our own relationship with egypt. we have a strong commitment to democracy that could be argued is not the greatest democratic move in the world. can you argue both sides to that one. but we do have some laws that are involved. such as not being able to give our assistance to countries that have undergone a military coupe. shepard: we a gave a billion dollars last year
announced the removal of president morsi. several weeks ago a contingent of about 550 marines were moved from monroe spain to italy in recent days to respond, if needed to the trouble in egypt. they remain approximately 1,000 miles away tonight for a three hour flight from egypt. auto marine expeditionary unit remains in the mediterranean. saudi arabia s king welcomes president morsi tonight and among the first to congratulate the new government. on capitol hill, democratic senator patrick leahy says the u.s. congress will review aide to egypt as is required by u.s. law when american government is opposed by a coupe. shep? shepard: jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thanks. over to cairo an expert in egypt eric is with the d.c. think tank the washington institute. he interviewed former president morsi back in 2010, was here in the united states a few days ago. he realized, as so many
