Mubarak’s Rumored Apology

This will be interesting:

A report in Tuesday’s edition of the independent daily al-Shorouk quoted Egyptian and Arab official sources as saying that Mr. Mubarak was “drafting a letter which will be broadcast on Egyptian and Arabic channels, apologizing on behalf of himself and his family for any offence caused to the people.” He is also to apologize “for any behavior which may have stemmed from false information passed on to him by his advisers.”

I find this really hard to believe. The Egyptian ex-president is not the kind of person who would admit to wrongdoing, let alone apologize. The analysts are saying that this will make things easier for everyone, but I think the only reason he might do it is because he’s watching his wife and family being humiliated..
