WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: The Egyptian military council

Egyptian riot police on Saturday cleared Cairo's Tahrir Square of protesters who had wanted to stage a sit-in following a demonstration demanding an end to emergency laws and a speedy transfer of power to civilians from military rulers. It's all well and good that Mubarak is no longer in power, but the protestors have three demands that the military council need to meet: an end to emergency law, an end to military trials of civilians, and the speeding up of trials of previous top officials. Also, about 60 political parties and groups, including the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, have threatened to boycott an upcoming parliamentary election and set a deadline of Sunday (which is also the date the All Blacks hopefully beat Argentina) for the military council to meet their demands. These include approving a law that would effectively prevent many of those who supported Mubarak while he was in power from running for office. And if the military council don't start doing their job, there could be a second revolution.
