Sandmonkey (Mahmoud Salem, who's appeared on US TV) is tweeting this morning that Code Pink's efforts will hurt the protesters in Egypt.
Please see my thread about this in this topic of Catherina'ss:

I'll edit this post later to add all his tweets about this.

I got many calls and emails from people living abroad who want to help this uprising by sending donations. This is not a good idea. #jan25

The revolution has to be pure, and receiving outside funding would be used to tarnish or attack it. There is a better idea. #jan25

Create a fund for the families of the victims of the government crackdown on the #jan25 revolution instead, 2 help them recover later #jan25

This fund would be accessible to them once the revolution is over, for the families of those who died or seriously injured. #jan25

Code Pink is collecting money for food and supplies to be sent to Egypt. Please stop them. This will be used against us. #jan25

Please explain to @codepink that they will accuse the revolution of being foreignly funded . It will hurt us. #jan25
