Nicholas Kristof: Pro-Mubarak Thugs Are Retreating

Nicholas D. Kristof facebooking from Tahrir Square:
Something incredible is happening at Tahrir Square in Egypt: the pro-Mubarak thugs whom the government sent here with clubs, machetes and straight razors are retreating! The democracy forces seem to be winning this battle. It's a symbol of Mubarak's incompetence that he dispatches armed thugs to engineer a crackdown -- and can't even achieve that.
