who is a journalist, and also the head of the freedoms committee for his union. Here is the last link he send out. Mohamed Kouddous is dragged away by five plain clothes thugs, he was beaten and arrested.

6. Governments who have something to hide really hate journalists.

10. Funny you should put it that way. The Executive Editor of the NYTs
just posted a multi page tirade against Wikileaks. It's quite bizarre and shows just how far into the government's back pocket our "paper of record" is.

2. I LOVE that picture!

Egypt is about to fall. All those poiticians and pundits who were talking about how *stable* Egypt was (unlike Tunisia), can STFU now. Things are really heating up and I believe history will be kind.

mostafahabib RT @AskAzzahCoach: Al-Jazeera was just now going live to Egypt when it was cut off. Riot police are chasing people now..into buildings..brutal, chaotic. #Jan25 half a minute ago via web


Img_0404_normal nu_yorkster RT @khalawa69: A CALL FOR A ONE MILLION PROTESTER MARCH THIS FRIDAY AFTER PRAYERS AT AROUND 1 PM, THIS IS FOR EVERYONE CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS #jan25 #egypt


Fact check: Does the US, as Obama said last nite, 'support the democratic aspirations of all people'? http://abcn.ws/iitvAg not really

3. That is an incredible photo. How much pent up anger
does a person have to have to be brave enough to do that.

Saw it earlier on an Egyptian blog and it seems to be inspiring people not to back down.

I hope they move the protests to other cities now that the dictatorship has cleared out Cairo and shown their willingness to kill their own citizens.
