Former Asst Sec of State: Violence caused by 'rent-a-crowds,' Mubarak supporters obviously hired

Jamie Rubin just said on CNN that the violent crowds in Egypt are clearly 'rent-a-crowds,' and that Mubarak's supporters who are now amassing publicly have clearly been hired.

Egypt is on the verge of exploding today, and everyone agrees that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak started it, likely with the intent of freaking out the world and forcing them to accept a violent crackdown. Guess what? All it's doing is convincing people that Mubarak has to resign now.
