"In a move that seems to have taken everyone by surprise, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi forced into retirement his powerful defense minister, the army chief of staff, and several senior generals Sunday. He also canceled a measure that had been implemented by the military that curbed presidential powers. “The stunning purge,” as the New York Times describes it, seems to be the clearest move by the Islamist president to restore the powers of his office that had been taken away by the military since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak last year."
