Can We Have This Torturer Next Please?

Egyptians are continuing the process of removing their highly disliked dictator from power much to the annoyance of Western Governments so they distanced themselves from Mubarak and are telling Egyptians who they would prefer to take over for now, the Vice President Omar Suleiman.
'There are forces at work in any society, particularly one that is facing these kind of challenges, that will try to derail or overtake the process to pursue their own agenda, which is why I think it's important to follow the transition process announced by the Egyptian government, actually headed by vice-president Omar Suleiman' Hillary Clinton explained today.
So why are the Americans so keen to have Suleiman running things if they can't have their first choice puppet Mubarak?
Apart from Suleiman being known as Mubarak II and Mubarak's hit man, was head of the Egyptian intelligence who aided the U.S. rendition program and oversaw the torture of Al Qaeda suspects on behalf of the Americans and received his training at John F. Kennedy Special Warfare School and Center at Fort Bragg, i can't find any suspicious motives behind America backing him.
Unless of course...nah, i'm just being cynical because the Obama Administration is much too smooth to be seen wanting to replace one American friendly torturer with another one. Aren't they?

i don't believe we would knowingly aide a leader that will do us harm, and i don't want us to either.

i'll support a tyrant based on the "enemy of my enemy" is my ally concept... and, in the middle east they are all tyrants...

I think we should let them vote in whoever they want, Democracy and all that. Who knows, they may have a budding Bush or Blair in the wings. They may even discover a Hugo Chavez.
