ElBaradei about [as I write this] to speak to the assembled crowds in the main square in Cairo......the denouement is near....
One of the stranger things I've heard - and apparently true - is the rump government that remains warns that the security police will be back throughout Cairo tomorrow with the EXCEPTION in Tehrir square....very odd, indeed and not going to please protester nor secret policeman....and only going to make for conflict of protesters on the way to protest.
Interesting that some of the citizen street 'watch' groups trying to stop looting found some of those with cars full of looted things were secret police. :lol: Ever was thus....usually they do it more surreptitiously.
Ah....have such mixed feelings...as I feel as in all the color and other revolutions it was HONEST disappointment to disgust of the People that was harnessed...but all too often it was orchestrated or co-opted by the secret services for TPTB in the USA and West. The Egyptians have long, long been in need of regime change and democracy, but not one run from outside again. Ah, I hope against hope this one will be allowed to develop as the Egyptians want and not as some other Nation[s] want.
