JAMES BAKER, FMR. SECRETARY OF STATE: "Yes, I worked with him through the years as many other high ranking American officials have. He was never responsive to our suggestions that he open up the political system a bit more in Egypt. That he give more freedom and human rights to his people. I have to tell you this. Having said that, he was a damn good ally for the United States for 30 years. He sent his troops to fight with us in the Persian Gulf alongside American forces. He was a steadfast ally on the war on terror. He was very good in supporting the Arab-Israeli peace process."
