Egypt

I was watching Al Jazeera's live coverage with an Egyptian friend as the violence broke out.  I am just sick.  What a horrible, horrible man.  For over 2 years I have heard of how bad Mubarek is... I didn't doubt these stories but I also know the ability to exaggerate here is pretty high.  Now I realize there was no exaggeration.  He is every bit as bad as I've heard.

What I'm following:
Al Jazeera has had fantastic coverage:

Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times made his mark in 1989 covering Tiananmen Square.  His tweets are worth reading.

And in case you missed it:  Anderson Cooper of CNN was attacked.
