I'm watching Al Jazeera TV report that Tuesday's gathering is the largest so far, and that the protests are gathering momentum.

They want Murbarak gone. Looks like they have a new fan:

...Mr Mubarak was dealt a significant setback as the state-controlled Al-Ahram, Egypt's second oldest newspaper and one of the most famous media publications in the Middle East, abandoned its long-standing position of slavish support for the regime.

In a front-page leader, the newspaper's editor-in-chief, Osama Saraya hailed the "nobility" of what he described as a "revolution" and demanded that the government embark of irreversible constitutional and legislative changes. [...]

[W]hile it may yet prove that Al Ahram's editorial shift may be tactical rather than genuine, opposition supporters expressed astonishment at the development. Mr Saraya built his reputation as a dependable apologist for the president.

State journalists have been responding with justifiable anger since reporter Ahmed Mohamed Mahmoud was shot and killed, allegedly by a secret policeman, as I posted here.
