Cheney calls Mubarak a good friend, US ally
Former Vice President Dick Cheney calls Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak a good friend and U.S. ally, and he urges the Obama administration to move cautiously as turmoil continues to shake that nation's government.
Cheney's comments come a day after President Barack Obama pressed Mubarak to consider his legacy and exit office in a way that would give his country the best chance for peace and democracy. Cheney warned the administration against pushing Mubarak too hard in public. He said there's a reason why a lot of diplomacy is conducted in secret. (AP)
