of the people on tahrir square are a mixed bag of people. most are voluntary. it s a very interesting scene down there. what s going on is the people trying to keep the peace are people in the area. we were down there on tahrir square and we actually saw them get a couple of people who were in there out of the square. they were saying they were police officers who, of course, had been on the streets before all of these demonstrations took place. so it does look as though these two sides seem to be clashing. it appears to be a mixed bag. there are people from the brotherhood, the university, people on top of the square. a lot of people in the mubarak demonstration, they seed to be more from the nationally owned companies. and, again, there were people that told us they weren t there quite voluntarily, manisha. very interesting stuff. let s also talk about the fact
