Two months ago, the NYT and LAT led with Egypt's announcement that it would have big-time free and fair elections. At the time, the papers all noted that the proof would be in the details. Two months later the details are here: Egypt's rubber-stamp upper-house of Parliament laid out the actual rules, and as it happens they effectively bar independent candidates . Problem is, that's neither clearly nor prominently conveyed in the itty-bitty wire piece in the NYT, or the longer one in the LAT. So far as TP sees, the Post skips it altogether. The details come courtesy of a blog.
