ElBaradei is on his way to Liberation Square, where he is scheduled to address the protesters.

Sounds like the fix is in.

Further down on your link:

1526 Reuters has a full quote from Mr ElBaradei: "It is loud and clear from everybody in Egypt that Mubarak has to leave today," he told CNN. "He needs to leave today... to be followed by a smooth transition [to] a national unity government to be followed by all the measures set in place for a free and fair election."

1512 And more from the Nobel peace laureate: he has reportedly told CNN that President Mubarak must leave the country "today" to make way for a unity government.

1507 A new comment from opposition politician Mohamed ElBaradei, reported by the AFP news agency: The US is "losing credibility by the day" by support the Mubarak regime, the former UN nuclear chief says.

Mubarak should have swiftly and silenty deported El Baradei the minute they laid hands on him instead of putting him under house arrest.

Now the lootin' tootin' muzzies have a leader to rally around.

BTW, if he's on his way to the Square, what happened to the "house arrest"? Something weird is afoot.
