Egyptian Dissident Released
Dean
Egyptian freedom and democracy advocate Ayman Nour has been released from his coffin-sized jail cell.
Somewhat amusingly, this decision was coincident with a sudden wave of angry anti-American tirades in the government-controlled Egyptian press. It appears that Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's quasi-dictator President, is feeling the heat. But, as Glenn Reynolds says, "Thanks, Hosni, for playing into our hands. When your regime is toppled, people will give us the credit, now, instead of blaming us for propping you up!"
