$250m in US aid to Egypt as reward for political reforms (Hum? I thought the sky was falling?)

Yet Kerry also served notice that the Obama administration will keep close watch on how Morsi, who came to power in June as Egypt's first freely elected president, honors his commitment and that additional assistance would depend on it.
