Nasty weather for demonstrating tonight, but around seven o'clock this evening there were half a dozen Ayman Nour supporters stamping their feet and yelling nasty things about State Security in Midan Talat Harb. Three trucks full of soldiers watched from the other side of the street and the usual array of nice young men in government issued polyester casuals were tucked into the shadows around Groppi's in case there were any women who needed to be beaten.
