Egypt’s Interim Vice President, Mohamed ElBaradei, has resigned in protest of the U.S. backed junta’s crackdown on protestors.  ElBaradei said the junta’s crackdown will actually give extremist groups the excuse they need to go on the warpath.

Live video from Port Said shows tens of thousands of protestors on the streets.  Apparently Port Said is exempt from State of Emergency declaration.

The United States Congress has not halted billions in taxpayer funded military aid for Egypt, so far.
