2. Mubarak's thugs get out onto the streets and all of a sudden a peaceful situation goes violent.

I don't think demanding a "peaceful" transition is going to accomplish anything. The only way for a "peaceful transition" to occur would be for Mubarak to step down. So why not just say: Mubarak step down so that a peaceful transition can occur. Oh, right, because the dictator has been backed by the US government for decades and that's one of the places where we rendition people. Right. Gotcha.

3. Even the better media outlets call these thugs "supporters".

It's insane. Amy had a snapshot of rows and rows of state ID that the protesters had taken off of the ones they caught and turned over to the army for processing.
