What’s in a name?

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”

Sometimes a name is so apposite it’s hard not to think that there really is something in it. Yesterday, Mohammed Badie, Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood was arrested.

From here:

The Brotherhood’s spiritual guide, Mohammed Badie, was arrested in an apartment in the Cairo district of Nasr City, close to the site of a sit-in encampment [a better euphemism would be holiday torture resort] that was forcibly cleared by security forces last week, triggering violence that killed hundreds of people.

Badie’s arrest is the latest move in an escalating crackdown by authorities on the Brotherhood, which has seen hundreds of its members taken into custody.
