    EGYPT: Mubarak Goes To Trial In Hospital Bed.....

    http://news.yahoo.com/egypts-mubarak...094556628.html
    Associated Press | AP – 40 mins ago
    Mubarak attended Wednesday's opening session of the trial lying in a hospital bed. The judge says that his trial on charges of complicity in killing protesters and corruption will continue on Aug. 15, while the court will continue on Thursday hearing the case of his co-defendants, former interior minister Habib el-Adly, and six top security officials.

    The spectacle, aired live on state television, was a stunning moment for Egyptians, many of whom savored the humiliation of the man who ruled with unquestionable power for 29 years. After widespread skepticism that Egypt's military rulers would allow it, the scene went a long way to satisfy one of the key demands that has united protesters since Feb. 11, when Mubarak fell following an 18-day uprising.

    An official told state news agency MENA that Mubarak will stay at a hospital within the police academy compound during the trial to ensure that he attends the sessions. Mubarak has been living in Sharm since he was ousted and has been under arrest in a hospital there since April, reportedly suffering from heart problems. Doctors have reported that he is growing increasingly depressed.

    The prosecution is an unprecedented moment in the Arab world, the first time a modern Mideast leader has been put on trial fully by his own people.
    The closest event to it was former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's trial, but his capture came at the hands of U.S. troops in 2003 and his special tribunal was set up with extensive consultation with American officials and international experts. Tunisia's deposed president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, has been tried and convicted several times since his fall several weeks before Mubarak's, but all in absentia as he remains in exile in Saudi Arabia.....snip

    Seems the Egyptians not only want justice but they also want to humiliate Mubarak as Well. They have seized all of his assets and that of his other family members. Others in family are standing trial as well. Think they will sentence him to death? Thoughts? :-\

    I'm surprised he didn't try to flee the country. Or was he under seige in Cairo? Anyway, whatever they do they will just be making room for the next authoritarian regime.

    I think he will be sentenced to death. I imagine his health is poor given the stress and depression that he must be suffering.

    From what I've read, the new regime is no better but they will make Mubarak the scapegoat for most of the atrocities and execute him to win favor with the people.

    Yep. That's probably what will happen and things will return to their normal $#@!tiness.

    "What D," you mean your not all excited on the Egyptians New version of Democracy? That the MB who was banned from Egypt is working to get a portion of that government. You got something against mummies or Egyptian Princess'? Cmon now if these guys wouldnt have brought us the Pyramid. Then we would have never came up with the Rubik's Cube. :

    Atlantic City went into decline before I was born. It used to be a huge attraction. It still is locally.
