5. Don't want to tell these fine folks how to go about their revolution but...

I think leaving the square is a bad idea. If they leave the square, they lose the live media and I think that is part of what's keeping them alive.

[Catherina]

8. If they march, unified, there will be even more media. Lots of reporters

were kept out of Tahrir Sq and will film it from the streets and hotel balconies, despite the fucking Hilton's complicity.
