Lawmakers At Odds Over US Aid To Egypt - Members of Congress appear divided over whether to curtail U.S. aid to the Egyptian military after its bloody crackdown against pro-Islamist demonstrators that left more than 1,000 people dead. The split reflects the paucity of good options for Washington in responding to Egypt’s spiraling crisis.

Opponents argue that it could destroy whatever leverage the United States retains in the Arab world’s most populous nation.
