    Angry protesters stormed state security buildings in Cairo, Alexandria and other cities and confiscated files that were in the process of being shredded to hide complicity in torture and murder by the Mubarak regime.

    It's important to note that Egypt's military did not stand in the way of the protesters.

    Would be interesting should they stumble across some documentation no Government wants their people to see.

    I'd love to see this kind of thing happening here... but who knows maybe it will... things are getting kinda crazy in the States, the stench of the bullshit it getting unbearable. People will only live with no real hope for so long, an uprising is inevitable, I just hope it isn't too bloody. I hope we exert control and peace rather than heads on a pike. Obviously the craziness that's happening around the world is going to reverberate here, so it's only a matter of time before something really big happens.

    it'd be amazing if libya and egypt both ended up with self-implemented democracies. it'd change the way the arab world associates with the west dramatically. really interested in seeing how this pans out. hopefully the people prevail

    There's been chaos in Tahrir Square today as it was cleared out by security forces.

    What a mess! It's unclear who cleared whom out, as the protesters had taken a break from the protests and some say it was Mubarak's people in the square who were causing problems.

    to "deranged": it's interesting you should mention protestors catching the government complicit in questionable acts. there are any number of cases documented during the vietnam debacle: pouring pig's blood on government documents, burning draft cards, watergate, and the list goes on. contemporary documents will point to many such actions. there was even an anti-war riot in new york city at the start of the civil war. paisley skye. :(:confused:
