1. After the violently and, reportedly, deadly confrontations between pro- and anti-Mubarak demonstrators this afternoon, things have now calmed.
2. Anti-Mubarak demonstrators claim to have proof, gained from taking I.D. cards off of their adversaries, that the supposed pro-Mubarak demonstrators were at least partially disguised, plains-clothes security officers.
3. The military has asked protesters to go home.
4. Still no word from Mubarak, his government, or from the U.S. (though ambassador P.J. Crowley made an anodyne tweet about non-violence). It’s now 8 pm in Cairo. ElBaredei and others promise another day of rage this coming Friday.
5. A few internet servers have apparently been restored in Egypt. That’s one of the demanded changes, coming nowish. But probably not enough.
