where amira is, not far from tahrir square, it is no longer safe to go outside. mubarak's hired help has set up checkpoints around the square---foreigners are being at best harassed, at worst beat up or more.
what's really concerning is the actions directed against journalists and human rights workers. i think these witnesses have played a basic role in preventing a massacre. if that's true, then attempts to remove/silence/intimidate/eliminate them is an ominous development indeed.
