"The Egyptian military has secretly detained hundreds and possibly thousands of suspected government opponents since mass protests against President Hosni Mubarak began, and at least some of these detainees have been tortured, according to testimony gathered by the Guardian."

The bastard American-Israeli stooge Hosni Mubarak and his underling, spy chief and Israeli agent Omar Suleiman, have just made speeches on Egyptian TV, basically telling us that Mubarak will not step down until the whole country is ruined and playing for time to ensure that the regime continues.
I can smell blood in the air. The hundreds of thousands of protesters are angry and won't accept this. In all probability they will march on to the radio and TV complex or the presidential palace - or both.
Many think that the army is on the people's side. But they are deluded. This is an army of opportunists, torturers, incompetents and traitors. As you can see from the article above, while many protesters were kidding themselves into thinking that the army was on their side, the army was in fact busy arresting and torturing people. And, as we all know, the army stood by while Mubarak sent in his paid thugs to clear Tahrir Square last week.
Please, let us all shed our illusions. The Egyptian army is the enemy of the Egyptian people. Some might say this can't be so because the army consists of conscripts, i.e. is made up of the people. That is true, but make no mistake: these conscripts will not hesitate to massacre their own people.
Let us have faith in ourselves. To hell with the army, the police and all the other tools of repression. If the army consisted of real men, then let these men go and fight the real enemy, the enemy whose permission they have to get in order to tread on their own soil in Sinai. Let them go and fight and not surrender in their tens of thousands, as we've seen in 1967 and 1973.
Freedom is not cheap. The question is very simple: do we shed our blood or our honour?
I have already made up my own mind.
