We will also talk about what the White House is doing and what they're not doing. And later, just how many billions of dollars has Egypt's dictator taken from the Egyptian people? How rich is he? Elsa Peretti Sevillana Mesh braceletare a lot of rumors out there. We will try to sort out the fact from the fiction.First, though, let's check in with Isha Sesay -- Isha.ISHA SESAY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, yes, Vice President Joe Biden has been talking trains again. The veep is a passionate advocate of rail travel and today announced bold new expansion plans, proposals which come with quite a price tag. I will tell you just how much when we come back.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)COOPER: Well, it's almost daylight now in Cairo, a dire new warning out there. Egypt's vice president saying the country cannot put up with demonstrations like the one today Toggle bracelet much longer. And this was the largest we have seen yet. The regime, he says, isn't going anywhere.It's the latest in a series of mixed messages from Vice President Suleiman. Before issuing the veiled threat, he spoke with American Vice President Joe Biden, who pressed him, saying changes need to start immediately. Not clear Elsa Peretti Sevillana braceletimpact that's going to have.Remember, on Sunday, as we mentioned at the top, the vice president said that Egypt is not ready for democracy and that emergency rules should continue. If he's sending mixed messages, though, so perhaps is the White House.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)ROBERT GIBBS, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: Yesterday I think the vice president -- Vice President Suleiman made some particularly unhelpful comments about Paloma Picasso Loving Heart bracelet not being ready for democracy, about not seeing a lift of the emergency law. And I don't -- I don't think that in any way squares with what those seeking greater opportunity and freedom think is a timetable for progress.(END VIDEO CLIP)COOPER: White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.We also heard today from Defense Secretary Robert Gates, praising Egypt's armed forces who protected protesters, but have also stood by and watched as pro-government thugs went on the attack.
They were all crammed into a room, he said, some 500 people, no blankets, one meal a day, and interrogated, asked why they were attending these protests and then at the end of those two days -- two nights and three days, basically deposited at the gates of the compound, phones seized, money seized, just left with an I.D. card.So we're following <Bead braceletcases to try to understand what exactly is the sincerity of this government that is claiming suddenly in a span of two weeks, transparency and add to extrajudicial detentions and the types of activities they have been carrying out, as Christopher Dickey said, for decades.COOPER: And, Christopher, since Mubarak has been in power, he's operated under emergency rule.
Essentially anybody can be arrested at any time, taken off the streets, taken out of their homes and they have been.What is the just -- is there -- what is the justification the government still makes Tiffany Cushion Two-row bracelet having emergency rule?DICKEY: Well, that there might be terrorists out there, and there have been and were crushed, for instance, in the 1990s. There was a serious attempt to overthrow the government led by Ayman al-Zawahri, who of course is the number two in al Qaeda now.So, there has been dangers in the past. And I think there were times when the Egyptian Tiffany 1837 Toggle braceletwere interested in seeing any measures used to suppress those threats. But, in fact, those dangers have not existed in any serious levels for some time and, most importantly, this law has been used against political opposition of any sort for a very long time.
And what you just heard from Ivan is a description of what is being done to people who really are peaceful protesters, using this emergency law and using the ideas and the philosophy that have been permeating this government for -- for 30 years, that they can do anything to anybody in order to keep the state safe.COOPER: Christopher Dickey, I appreciate you being on. We Frank Gehry Fish toggle bracelet to follow you on The Daily Beast and also with "Newsweek."And, Ivan, stick around. We will talk to you a little bit later on in the program.Let us know what you think, the live chat up and running at AC360.com.Up next, American reaction to the claim that Egypt isn't ready for democracy. We will talk to Fouad Ajami, along with David Gergen and Jill Dougherty.
Vice President Biden called him today -- and they're the ones that the U.S. is dealing with, he still is, in public statements, he's blaming these protesters for belittling Egypt. He's blaming foreign media for being in some sort of conspiracy to manufacture this crisis.What do you make of that?CHRISTOPHER DICKEY, "NEWSWEEK": Well, I think it's an Tiffany Cushion Toggle bracelettactic here.This is a government that, for 30 years, and in fact the regime goes back much longer than that, has been used to lying to its people and getting away with it. It seemed to be a relatively passive political culture. And it's really only in the last decade or so that Egypt was connected to the rest of the world in a way that it really had other voices on satellite television, on the Internet or elsewhere to contradict what the government would say.
This is a government that is completely out of step with its population, half of which is under 24 years old. And it's continuing to address Egypt as if it's addressing the Egypt of 1981, not Flower charm bracelet Egypt of today. And I think that's really reflected in these kinds of remarks.COOPER: Ivan, are there any real moves that you have seen for transparency? Because they're talking about, well, we're going to make constitutional changes and we're going to set up a committee, oh, and we're going to investigate the killings that have Elsa Peretti Open Heart bracelet place. And yet there's still no, as far as I have seen, any actual transparency going on.WATSON: That's right.Every day, you hear talk, you hear signals coming from the government. But that's why we have been focusing on issues like detentions.
Just last Thursday is when the military police were involved, as well as hundreds of pro-Mubarak supporters who have often been described as thugs, were involved in a raid on a prominent Egyptian human rights center that resulted in at least 30 human rights activists detained.They were taken away in flex cuffs and in blindfolds. We're using those moments that we Return to Tiffany Heart tag bracelet find to pinpoint how sincere the government really is. Is it possible that some of the security forces here, they're working out of inertia? I'm not quite sure.We spoke to one man who said that he had been detained shortly after the first days of the protest, along with some 500 people just carted off in vans and taken out to a center outside of Cairo for two nights.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)WAEL GHONIM, GOOGLE EXECUTIVE (through translator): The thing that tortured me the most when I was in detention was that people would find out I was the admin of the page. I did not want people to find out I was the admin, because I'm not the hero. I was writing with a keyboard on the Internet. And my life was Elsa Peretti Teardrop bracelet sale exposed to any danger.I want to say to every mother and every father that lost his child, I'm sorry. But it is not our fault. I swear to God this is not our fault. It's the fault of everyone who was holding on to power greedily and would not leave.(END VIDEO CLIP)
COOPER: Lots to talk about tonight.Joining us from Cairo, CNN's Ivan Watson, and Christopher Dickey, Mideast editor for "Newsweek" and contributor to The Daily Beast.Ivan, what do you Atlas charm bracelet was it about that interview which helped the turnout today into the biggest turnout we have seen in this entire protest?IVAN WATSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, I'm not sure, Anderson, that strictly that interview alone pushed these record numbers in.I think there was also a lot of people who -- who felt perhaps more safe after several Atlas toggle bracelet of relative calm to just go or they were driven by curiosity. But there's no question that that interview was a powerful motivator as well and that when Mr. Ghonim stepped up on the makeshift stage there, it was -- he was treated as a hero of the Egyptian revolution.
But what was very powerful was to hear a young man get up there on Egyptian television and after many of the lies and exaggerations in what has clearly been a smear campaign in state media, to say, we're Charm bracelet foreign conspirators, we're not spies working for Israel, for the U.S. CIA, for Iran, we are Egyptian people who are just fighting for our rights, I think that was an important -- important message to dispel a lot of this misinformation that's been out there.Christopher, it does seem like even though Vice President Suleiman is the one who the U.S. is basically at this point kind of pinning all their hopes on and they're the ones --
You can terminate Social Security for those who haven't yet contributed to it. Get the government, the federal government out of the unconstitutional business of trying to take care of people and then you can abolish the IRS.Why should you care about all of this debt? Here's why. Just like you must pay a mortgage every month, the government Tiffany Cushion Toggle braceletpay interest on its $14 trillion debt. The more the government borrows, the more interest it must pay. When the debts come due, the government just borrows more money at a higher interest rate and pays off the old debt with the new, thus, digging you and me, and generations of Americans as yet unborn, deeper into a pit.
At this rate of borrowing, at some point, we will owe so much money, and taxes will be so high to pay the money we owe, that we will have no wealth for ourselves. We will literally have borrowed Flower charm bracelet way into financial slavery.The time to reverse this is now. The Congress must not permit any more borrowing, lest we lose our prosperity and lose our freedom. And any Republicans, who reject sound money by voting to let the government borrow more, should lose their jobs.Tomorrow, Elsa Peretti Open Heart bracelet Ron Paul and Governor Gary Johnson -- there's a hot ticket -- will both be here.From New York, defending freedom every night of the week, so long, America.

Allen touched popular conservative themes in his announcement and in an interview Monday, calling for repeal of the federal health care reform act, spending restraint and greater development of domestic energy sources."When you're out of government you get a perspective from the people," Allen said. "A lot of people are concerned about our economy and job opportunities for themselves and for their children, especially those graduating from college these days. replica Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 'Thunderbird' watc are frustrated. It seems like Washington's not listening to them at all."Allen's announcement took no one by surprise.

As recently as last week, Allen headlined a statewide town hall meeting tour arranged by the conservative group Americans for Prosperity.Allen led a Republican revolution in Virginia that replica Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 'Thunderbird' watc with his 1993 election as governor and peaked with his 2000 election to the U.S. Senate. In between, his party seized control of both houses of the Virginia General Assembly and won every statewide officeAllen built a national profile during his early years in the Senate and was pegged as a potential 2008 presidential candidate. But his political climb was halted in 2006, when he lost to Webb by 9,329 votes in a replica Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 'Thunderbird' watc marred by a memorable Allen gaffe.During a campaign appearance in far Southwest Virginia,

Allen said he made up the nickname and was not aware that it could be construed as a slur. He apologized, but video of the incident spread like wildfire on the Internet and dogged him throughout replica Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 'Thunderbird' watc campaign.Other factors contributed to Allen's defeat, including discontent over the Iraq war and disapproval of then-President George W. Bush. Webb's election tipped control of the Senate to the Democrats.Allen said he respects Webb, but questioned his priorities in Congress."The difference I have with Webb is -- notwithstanding what he's been saying -- he's consistently voted the Washington liberal line with [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid and [former House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi and [senior U.S. Sen.] Chuck Schumer," Allen said. "Those aren't the voices I hear from Virginia."
