Magnifying what you want to hear and suppressing the calls of those who oppose you. It's always amazed me how dictatorial systems managed that beneficial (to them, of course) trait.
Here we are again, playing out the same story. People protesting against what could turn into military rule; the torture, assault and continued illegitimate arrest of political prisoners and detainees; the illegitimate government that came into effect by the power of former president Mubarak and is still ruling now; the burning of incriminating papers that could act as evidence against the corruption of the ever-present regime...all of those reasons have people down in the streets, online, in newspapers and magazines, on TV, basically EVERYWHERE voicing their opposition, and yet the regime and the army manage to maintain their fairytale story and appear to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the demands of the people while informing them that they "understand" them.
How does this regime not get that our aim isn't Mubarak, our aim was never just Mubarak? Our aim was and still is to get rid of corruption and put all those who were/are a part of it on (fair) trial. Our aim isn't to get protesters sentenced to years in prison by a military court while allowing those who call the shots behind every corrupt decision in this country to roam free! Our aim is to restore the REAL values of democracy, equality, justice, peace and security to this country; not just the fake labels Mubarak and the regime he is a part of kept shoving down our throats all those years.
So my message to the regime is that, you'll fall down eventually. No matter how many people you sacrifice (like Adly, Ezz, etc.), you will not be spared. A great majority of people have been repressed and submissive for so long, and now that they've woken up, they've discovered that they like it much better than being coerced into a state of unconsciousness by you and your corrupt media.
To the army, sadly, no institution is completely free of corruption nowadays in Egypt. I don't know of the internal struggles within your system but bottom-line is, you need to work it out and see what you're going to do. I would advise you not to go against the will of the people; that doesn't really signify that nobility which is expected of you and which you are supposed to stand for.
