This is all very strange. When Hillary spoke on CNN yesterday she did not seem her usual animated self. Something is off. Is it simply that our govt has been caught off guard, or something more?
In addition to a social network connection to the situation in Egypt, it seems there is also a Wikileaks aspect, in that cables that Bradley Manning leaked to them discussed Egypt and were read there. Assange was on 60 Minutes last night, and while the interview was undoubtedly taped earlier, there was a sense that he believes the free press that he is demonstrating is capable of creating upheaval.
Now Egypt has gone dark in terms of the net and cel phones, with the anticipated march in a few hours. Pres. Carter has been brave enough to state that Mubarak needs to resign. Could that be next?
