re: #31 albusteve

why are you saying that Mu is not interested in acknowledging the protesters?…are you doing some semantic acrobatics?

If the state in Egypt could have had its way, Mubarak would never have had to offer a speech in response to the protests, and foreigners would never have covered it. Egyptian State TV tried to present the initial protests as uneventful. However, the strength and size of the protests made unacknowledging them impossible.
