There's surely rhetorical posturing about how the US nudged Mubarak about human rights. It's basically just CYA material. The point is that when the US gov really wanted something from the Mubarak regime, it got it, whether that was coordination with Israel on how to blockade Gaza, on how to further corporatize the Egyptian economy, or look at this, "Egypt: 'Options on Table' for Iraq." Liberals like Albright were too busy lobbying Mubarak for their right to bomb Baghdad to much object to his right to oppress people in Cairo. Husseini's first law of politics: The powers collude and the people get screwed.
