“We don’t want to deal with Egyptian society with police tools.” — Omar Suleiman

So now the authoritarian rulers are warning, threatening, the Egyptian populace of an impending police crackdown? They are the definition of a dictatorship at this point. And regardless of the “known unknowns” of Egypt’s future the Mubarak regime will go down.

It’s too bad because I had a tiny inkling of hope with Omar Suleiman. Instead he’s already proven that he is no different than Mubarak.

He was Minister of the Interior. Their Ministry of the Interior is not like our Department of the Interior. One runs mountain goats, the other runs secret police.
