Thanks for this, Louis. (And for the Leakey email as well.) A crucial thing to note about this brave comrade and his friends: He is clearly one of the tens of thousands of shabab who come into the street consistently to fight the regime, unafraid to die -- and not hiding behind a "Black Bloc" mask. While Western liberals are falling all over themselves to praise the mysterious/romantic BB, the latter are in fact childish and UNACCOUNTABLE TO ANYONE except their self-appointed selves. They are obstacles to organizing in the squares, the factories, the schools. They are furthermore a slap in the face not only to those profiled in the Times article, but even more so to the millions all over the country who have organized themselves to do security, rape prevention, food and healthcare provision, etc., without the condescending saviors of the BB.
