Pro-Mubarak supporters appear to be leaving Tahrir Square, on the run.

One tank using smoke screen to prevent Egyptians from attacking other Egyptians.

4. There was a gun battle going on before Engel signed

off to go to safer ground. He said the crowd was cheering the army at the end of his report and that they will have to take action before it gets worse. Also, talked about journalists being targeted by Mubarak thugs, including one stabbed, one missing and one detained for hours.

9. Mubarak sends thugs to shoot unarmed people from afar in the dead of night

This he calls "defending the sacred honor of his country".

The word "Mubarak" will forever be a synonym for "stinking coward".

Technically, you can call him a mass murderer and a war criminal.

But I think "stinking coward" is more precise.
