Multiple twitters now reporting there will be a full 24-hour curfew in Egypt on Thursday.

CNN had some live long camera shots a few minutes ago.
Showed people walking into the protest area.
Mentioned the army said the pyramids are still open to tourists. Seemed strange.
Everything peaceful. Even women are protesting with signs.

@AJEnglis/egyptprotests:
#Egypt(organiser) says after much debate the final decision is to stay in Tahrir today and not march to Mubarak’s house today.

Authorities have shut down all roads and public transportation to Cairo. 10,000’s of people in the streets http://bit.l
And I read about this somewhere last night prior to going to bed:

And Anderson Cooper on CNN says around 70K there and nearly noon.
And a little comic relief... an eejit that goes by “pourmecoffee” tweets: People of Egypt, we sent you Anderson Cooper - the highest honor our country can bestow short of backing your wishes.
LOL

Look at the size of that crowd.
To: cookcounty; All
NBC is reporting that this will be the biggest demonstration yet, even though the government is blocking many avenues of travel, no inter city buses for example.
To: sunmars
It is an amazingly large crowd.

I have to give due credit to CNN, they actually have news, FNF is having a family lovefest of some sort.
I wonder why Fox refuses to have more news about Egypt?
Some Saudi connection afraid of something?
