More on Blogger Arrests; Three-Day Weekend

Egypt says that the arrested bloggers will face charges due to their having staged a demonstration; apparently they've been "deported" back to Cairo. This just looks heavy-handed. Were they actually violating any actual law?

As I noted earlier this will be a three-day weekend in the US due to Martin Luther King day, so blogging will occur only if events demand it; otherwise, see you Tuesday.
