The Obama government reiterated its belief today that access to the Internet is a basic right of free speech. This announcement came after it was noted that a privately owned Internet company, and possibly several with headquarters located in Great Britain, accepted orders from the Mubarak regime to shut the Internet and cell hone system down all across Egypt.

This action only seemed to intensify the anger of the demonstrators in Cairo who are demanding that Mubarak step down. The demonstrations continue. So far the Egyptian Army has not gone on the offensive But they are present in large numbers.

The central airport, according to one  reporter is experiencing a "traffic jam" as personal jets line up to leave the country. Mubarak has not been heard from. The Egyptian Army is in the process of putting up barricades around the museums and colleges and some of the national landmarks. The police so far has not fired on demonstrators.

Most Egyptians see the U.S. are complicit in the police state that exists in Egypt.

Update: Mubarak spoke on television, told the demonstrators to stop breaking the law, did not agree to turn the Internet back on, and will not step down. He called for a new government. It is quite possible that the demonstrations tomorrow will be much worse, reporters on the scene are saying.
