Egyptian ex-pats are calling the day BASTILLEDAY in Egypt. Revelations are pouring out onto the twitter hashtag #AmnDawla and the Facebook profile: Amn Dawla Leaks

Debka reports that Friday night, thousands of protesters stormed the headquarters of secret security forces headquarters "(Mahabis Namn El Dawla) in Alexandria, Cairo and the nearby 6 of October town, shutting down its operations across the country, seizing control of the vast archive of records."

US Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, is racing to Cairo on orders from US President, Barrack Obama to handle the fall out and demise of Egyptian military's junta rule, and the exposure of information from "the secret files on every political and military leader in the country, confidential information once accessible only to ex-intelligence minister Gen. Omar Suleiman before the uprising." (Source: Debka).

7. My thought too.
This isn't some mid level brass "fixer", this could be some serious deep doo doo they are trying to keep covered up.

Very interesting.

11. Recall there was a group of Egytian Generals in DC
when the events in Egypt started.

I worry now about escalation and spread of violence.

Alas, governments and militaries and corporate media cannot be trusted.

4. I'll bet the state department is in a fuss right now.
Fearful of revealing secrets that can embarrass some people.

6. Sounds like Wikileaks is polite conversation compared to this. Why else would Gates be so concerned?

16. Looks like they have more to worry about than Wikileaks and
Manning.

I read today that the protesters have discovered a diabolical plot that was carried out, bombing a Christian Church in January, using a known 'terrorist' who members, or at least one member, of the government cooperated with to do it for the purpose of dividing and conquering and making it seem that Islamic terror was the cause of all the problems in the world. When in fact, it appears the MIHOP!

I'm looking for more info on this as it is a huge crime committed by the government if true, and makes you wonder if anyone in the U.S. was aware of it also.
