Spencer Ackerman at Wired News on Mubarak's speech just now in Cairo: "That sounds like an invitation for a crackdown. Although there has been some rioting, the protests have been largely peaceful. One protester in Cairo today even told Al Jazeera that her friends are starting a soccer tournament in the packed Tahrir Square. But if the police still consider Mubarak's instructions to have the force of law, those protesters may soon be under assault if they don't disperse. Will the Army defend the protesters against the police, after saying earlier that soldiers won't open fire on civilians?"
