Al Jazeera TV is live with many details. Seems the pro-Mubarak forces are fomenting the violence as instigated by the Egyptian govt.

I hear you on that, as long as we keep in mind that Al-Jazeera has a big time agenda here, too. They've been on a crusade against American-backed Arab governments, and have been cited in a number of sources as one of the common instigators of all of the current Arab revolts. They are certainly not objective observers of events in Egypt.

That said, I still think Al Jazeera is a valuable source of information so long as one considers the source - as one should always do with every source. They certainly have more reporters on-site than just about anyone else.

so anyone carrying a pro-Mubarak sign is really a “pro-mubarak” demonstrator?

classic strategy of terrorists to make the other side look like the bad guys

remember what they tried to do to the tea party here

Just how would they know pro-government as opposed to others pretending to be pro-government? You’ve seen right in this country people try to descredit the Tea Party by planting people in the crowd and you know they do the same thing everywhere. My bet is that the pro-Muslim Brotherhood folks will do what they can to destroy whatever they consider non-Islamic while this situation is in flux and that anything they’re going to be seen doing they’ll disguise themselves as another faction to do it.

Don’t be surprised to see people identified as Copts doing some destruction as a means to get the anti-Christian actions going. This is traditional facist practice, from Germans putting people in Polish uniforms to justify invading Poland right through planting people in Tea Party gatherings. Why should I think Al Jazeera isn’t going to help the Muslim Brotherhood along by identifying groups the way the MB wants them identified? Especially when there’s limited coverage, I don’t trust Al Jazeera to be anything other than an active participant in the destruction of any country not controlled by a Muslim religious crowd.
