Hosni Mubarak's Exit Plan to Germany

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s latest attempt to hang on to power? He created a committee on Tuesday to propose constitutional changes that would impose presidential term limits and promise a pay raise for public workers Monday. Still, it appears the 82-year-old Mubarak is creating an exit plan: Der Spiegel says he’s looking at a luxury hospital in the German town of Bühl for a “prolonged health check” that would allow him to save some pride in leaving Egypt. Mubarak has twice gone to Germany for treatment, and German politicians have expressed a willingness to receive Mubarak.
