How stupid do they think we are?

I always ask myself that question when i read egyptian newspapers or statments released by egyptian government officials. Those people must really think they are dealing with a bunch of morons, because this is just so lame that it would be funny if it wasn't so sad: The suspected mastermind of a series of attacks targeting foreign tourists in Egypt has died in custody. Attorney General Mahir Abd al-Wahid said on Saturday that Ashraf Said Yusuf died in hospital on Thursday from injuries that were self-inflicted. Self-inflicted injuries is usually code for "we tortured his ass so badly it left body marks that couldn't be coverd up"! So, please mr. Attorney General, tell us, how exactly did he inflict those deadly wounds on himself? Did he use a knife? an electric cord? Did he hang himself and breake his neck? How did it happen? Police informed prosecutors on 11 May that their prisoner had become "very agitated and deliberately hit his head on the wall of his cell", prompting his transfer to hospital. Deliberately hit his head on the wall of his cell. I repeat, deliberately hit his head on the wall of his cell. Of Course! That's plausable, right? The man just kept slamming his own head to the wall until he did enough damage to his skull and brain that the good egyptian police authorities- who never torture anyone- couldn't save his life despite transfering him promptly to the hospital . Earlier injuries sustained while on the run from police might have contributed to his death, the attorney general said, adding that a full report on the circumstances is being prepared. I am sure it will be conclusive and it will clear you guys of any possible wrongdoing. And the sad thing is no one will be held accounatble or get punished, because no one here cares! Sigh...
