Within hours of the return of internet access, pro-Mubarak...
...counter-protesters take to the streets. This is no coincidence. How else could a group organize such a large scale coordinated response? There is nothing organic about this. I would be willing to bet that there was a mass e-mail sent out to NDP and Interior Ministry contact lists within minutes of the return of internet service. 8 days of relatively peaceful protest once they chased off the Interior Ministry thugs. Now, after it becomes clear that the momentum is clearly on the side of the protesters, the military says "go home" with counter-protesters waiting in the wings.

I suspect that this is a clear case of the "Trapped Rat" scenario. Someone should check for those e-mails.
