U.S.-Financed Egyptian Military Orchestrating Attacks on Protesters

Admiral Mullen's caution that we should "wait and see" what happens has been answered.  The torture continues, even as the television media and most of the major print media look away, and truth comes to us thanks only to instant message technology and the unbelievable courage of the few.  A NY Times article which CNN's Watson frantically Twittered yesterday with the appeal "Must-read blow-by-blow account of how Egyptian secret police are torturing dissidents in the midst of a revolution " reports that while inside a prison:

During our questioning, a man nearby was being beaten -- the sickening sound somewhere between a thud and a thwack. Between his screams someone yelled in Arabic, "You're a traitor working with foreigners."

As another possible avenue of pressure, it remains to be seen if an Egyptian national or nationals will make a trip to the Hague to file Crimes Against Humanity charges against Mubarak and Suleiman, to throw cold water on Mubarak's delusion that he and his gang can stay and highlight that the door they now have open may be closing.  There are many thousands of Egyptians with the torture scars to show a Dutch judge.

Ragui Assaad, an Egyptian and professor at the University of Minnesota, said Friday that the military would make a cold-blooded decision about Mr. Mubarak.

"They are a rational, calculating institution.  The moment they see it is not in their interest to retain him, they will usher him out."
