Running for president
First, Reuters
notices an anomaly
in an Al-Ahram front page story: "Nine months before a referendum to choose Egypt’s president,
the state newspaper Al-Ahram has announced the result on its front
page — Hosni Mubarak will be re-elected for another six years. “President Mubarak will take the oath of office at this
historic session (of parliament), signaling the start of a new
presidential term,” the paper said."
Then, Gamal Mubarak
says his father's nomination is not a done
deal.
Meanwhile, Mubarak
himself says he's okay with others
running for president...
