here is glenn greewald on yesterday's ny times coverage of egypt. he says some of what i've been saying for a while but does it in print:
The Egyptian mirror - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com
it is possible---entirely so----that if the opposition refuses to go along with the game that is being set up and maintains pressure that they could change the game again. it seems to me, though, that any capitulation to the g....o......s......l.....o.......w........l........y "pragmatism" of the americans and their clients in the egyptian military is de facto a concession of defeat.
it may well require another massive mobilization.
but i think it's possible.
