Morsi: Constitution Has ‘Mistakes’      Egyptian Presidency/AP
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi admitted to “mistakes” during
the drafting of the country’s new constitution. In a televised
address, Morsi said that there had been “mistakes here and
there, and I bear responsibility.” He also called the intense
disagreements over the constitution, “a healthy phenomenon” and
vowed to respect those who voted against it. “This is their
right, because Egypt of the revolution—Egypt’s people and its
elected president—can never feel annoyed by active patriotic
opposition.” He did not promise any specific concessions, but
called on opponents to engage in a national dialogue, which one
opposition spokesman dismissed as “a dialogue with himself.”
