"Now, I'm basically stuck between what they've established as two
cordons around Tahrir. One, is established by pro-Mubarak
demonstrators, whose job it is to keep people out of the square. That
includes ambulances and anyone whose not on their side. They ask you
if you're pro- or against. They're looking for Americans and
foreigners. They're saying things like, "You brought Baradei. This is
your fault. You're trying to break Egypt." They're quite hostile. They
physically hit me with sticks. I went in to film them throwing stones
and they knocked me back pretty hard, which is not the mood of the
demonstrators inside the square.
The second cordon is also pro-Mubarak demonstrators, who are just
beating up the demonstrators inside Tahrir. They have swords -- I'm
not exaggerating -- they have things that look like machetes with a
12-inch blade or longer, sticks, pipes, automatic weapons. This is why
people saying they're actually police. They're in very large numbers,
not just people who collected. They're generally all men between the
ages of 20 or 30."

The monster that the US has created, it now cannot control.
