For a week now, I have been puzzling over the various comments, and attempts to gin up hysteria, pervading the media coverage of the popular uprising in Cairo. There was something askew, leaking through in such small doses, that I could not put into words what was bothering me. Then, this morning, Chuck Todd said it, "A peaceful movement without a leader."

Imagine the horror of that!!

It is possible for millions of people to gather and without some jacknape with an AK47 threatening them, they can police themselves.

The BBC and CNN have reported that groups are searching those who want to join the demonstration and, if they find weapons they turn that individual and their guns, over to the military. If they are not armed, they shake their hands and escort them to the center of the square.
