Omar Suleiman
Al Jazeera described Omar Suleiman as the unelected Vice President of Egypt, "éminence grise" to President Hosni Mubarak, and point man for Egypt's secret relations with Israel. Jane Mayer of "The New Yorker" noted that Suleiman remained controversial because he "has headed the feared Egyptian general intelligence service" and also described his role in allowing controversial torture methods under US rendition programs which may have generated bad intelligence.
