Binny Masheesh Well, on the right-hand side you see the number, his name etc. The left-side is unreadable, but he certainly wears a police-type cap, that's not a regular civilian ID. Also it seems that one of the categories says: Raqm al-Shurta (Number of police), but I'm not completely sure because of the blurriness of the picture.

Michael Scheuer, former head of the Bin Laden unit at the CIA and outspoken critic of US Middle Eastern policy, wrote of the contradiction between our purported values and our support of Middle Eastern regimes like Mubarak's, in "Imperial Hubris":

We have nothing in common with the regimes; the tie is based overwhelmingly on the West's obsession with cheap oil. Break the link and we are free of associations that earn us only hatred and violence in the Muslim world.

The lifeline of the Mubarak regime, the $1.5 billion in US military assistance, has yet to be revoked by the Obama administration, and is now your tax dollars at work on the streets of Egypt.

Please call your own congressmembers now if you desire to take any action in support of the Egyptian people.  NO MORE MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO MUBARAK GOVERNMENT, MUBARAK OUT.  Aid to Mubarak is delivered in installments.  The next one is coming up.
