A White House official said the Obama administration was reaching out to a "broad cross-section of opposition and non-governmental actors."
U.S. officials hadn't had direct contact with Mohamed ElBaradei, the 68-year-old Nobel Peace Laureate behind whom the opposition, including the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, has coalesced.
The Obama administration dispatched a former ambassador to Egypt, Frank Wisner, to Cairo to press for democratic reforms, officials said, another sign the U.S. was taking a more hands-on role in trying to end the crisis.

When did they claim that? Up until this very moment when you said it, all we've gotten from them is the call to end the peace with Israel because Israel doesn't have a right to exist ... and they want rule of Islam to be the law of the land. Sharia ..
Summary: Even as Western commentators condemn the Muslim Brotherhood for its Islamism, radicals in the Middle East condemn it for rejecting jihad and embracing democracy. Such relative moderation offers Washington a notable opportunity for engagement -- as long as policymakers recognize the considerable variation between the group's different branches and tendencies.
