Day 14 of protests in Tahrir Square and the Egyptian government has denied any involvement in the attacks by mobs on peaceful demonstrators and reporters. They say they have no idea how these things happened. But the Egyptian military stood there and let it happen. We're Keeping Them Honest.

Glad you kept Egypt in the news!
Stay safe, Nic, Ivan, & Ben in Egypt!
Good Night everyone and have a wonderful week
Thankyou Anderson, for keeping them honest and following up on Egypt. Nic an Ben, stay safe!
Totally love teh rapping flight attendant
Sleep well everyone!
Anderson, you did the right thing leaving Egypt. You're show appears to be better able to cover a wide array of information related to the uprising in Egypt away from the chaos. As long as you continue to focus on Egypt with other correspondants still in country, I think you're coverage will be doing the service you desire.
American politicians should back-off. They place Amaerican interests above that of the Egyptian people who are being brutalised by a dictator. He may be a "friend" of the US, but he is no friend of the people of Egypt. American geopolitics are fundametally dishomest!
Anderson, so happy you are back..and thank you for all you do...my heart breaks for all who are standing to fight for their freedom.....keep the spotlight shinning for them!!!
oh – so what IS the best cure for a headache?
Funny! I didn't like the bounty hunter either. Very slow! Can't we just take a nap. Good night!
AC 360 staff and Anderson: The best in reporting!
good night, everyone. Say a prayer for Egypt!
and i'll leave you with this: something to smile about:

The RidicuList was fun tonight, Anderson!
Don't you wish you were on that flight?
Your coverage tonight–from the distant side of the crisis–has been excellent. I hope you are well after your trying week, and hope you get much rest!
please anderson, you & piers are the only trustworthy reporters cnn has ever had. please report on mubaraks & children's billions. thank you. lee
@bloggers: I agree with everyone who is saying we need to keep Egypt alive in the news. Anderson and others need to stay with the story in continued watchfulness of the protestors. This may virtually save lives.
Anderson, Thank you This is IMPORTANT. Please continue keeping us informed.
Anderson Cooper... my sincere 'Good Thoughts, Prayers & Blessings' to you... I do hope that your check up goes extremely well at the Doctor's Office tomorrow... Rest Up & Be Well!!
Anderson and everyone on the CNN team here in Cairo or covering our uprising, thank you for being our eyes and our voices. Thank you for letting the world see the truth and hear our voices.
the thing that boggles my mind the most is that such a large chunk of the egyptian economy is based on tourism (isn't it?) – they are acting like they do not want the tourism any more ... when WILL people want to travel there again for a nice cultural vacation??
@Starr,
I pray for Nic's safety too!
He's been doing a great job there in Alexandria from the start.
@Ahmed – so glad you made it to the demonstration and got to talkto Ben. W. & his camera woman.
Please know that so many Americans admire what you and your young peoples' movement are doing in Egypt. May God bless you, your countrymen who want democracy and of course your children and grandchildren.
I believe that Anderson will stay with your story until your people have open and free elections!
good night everyone, Anderson once again great job bringing the reality that Egypt is going through. Your voice gives Egypt hope.
This will never change, until somebody that's not related in anyway to the Mubarak-corrupted government. This actor is very brave and God be with him and all who want changes. Not only for them but for the future & freedom of their children.
our hearts and prayers are with you always! Brave Egyptians: continue with your courageous movement and show the world how Freedom is earned not given. God bless you all
Will president Obama talk to Mubarak again ? Hope he can do something good for Egyptian people
Ahmed,
We are with you and you are in our hearts always. Long live the people of Eqypt. How can the ordinary people in the US help you?
@ ahmed; anderson won't forget. many, many of us won't forget. we can't. this is seared into our hearts and minds. please take care, you and your fellow countrymen.
@starr thank you brother, i'm fine i got back today because we're preparing for a million man march tomorrow. you know what, thru the past days we saw everything, defending ourselves, sleeping infront of tanks, everytime we hear a whistle it means danger is near, we prepare oursleves for the worst, so after 1000000 whstles i guess we got to the point where we dont care, do whatever you want Mubarak, we're holding our ground
@ lilly
'seen the kite runner also, great movie.'
It is one of my all time favorite movies. I have watched it quite a few times which I usually never do. Truly a man's search for meaning and confronting his fears....
Goodnight AC360Team and fellow bloggers.
Great show tonight Anderson.
Anderson,We all know that you and your crew are very shaken by the event's that are taking place in Egypt. Hope you feel better and I have a feeling that you and your crew will be returning to Egypt soon. Thank you for the GREAT coverage.
@Karyn, Indiana,
Any news from your husband over the weekend?
It's nothing like freedom! More power to the people!
Hello Anderson. I am glad that you are back home and is safe. I hope that everything is okay. President Murbark is lying to the people of Egypt and they are not doing anything to stop the violence happening in Egypt and other things. I believed that vice president Soleman heard Candy Crowley's question very clearly and he did not want to answer it. I hope that the violence in Egypt stops. I do not want the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorism to take over Egypt. The people want freedom and they want it now. Anderson, please keep on reporting the story in Egypt.
@Ahmed,
"I met ben wedeman on the square that day and he was very nice,"
Ben has been doing an amazing job at keeping us all informed as to what has been going on in Egypt with Twitter. Glad that you were able to meet him. I hope that you stay safe there, and Ben too.
I am all for peaceful demonstration but in this case it will not work. They need to organize. Get names of known secret police.
Strike fear in the secret police. Brand them on their fore head with something that outs them for what they are. Traitors to their own people.
@Jo Ann, yes Nic has been doing a great job along with Ivan and Ben.
The scary thing over the weekend they were just saying there were only 3 people killed. I didn't feel like that could be right, now they are saying 300. I wonder if there wasn't more than that, but we might never know.
Good night Anderson, Jo Ann and Emily
@Ahmed, glad to hear you are safe! God be with you and Egypt in her fight!
Mubarak and Suleiman are saying one thing, but doing quite another. Why isn't the US calling them out?
seen the kite runner also, great movie.
please don't forget, i know if the world wasn't watching Mubarak would have run us over with his tanks, but we're strong, we defeated the fear from the regime and we only have the regime now to defeat. I breathe freedom now.
Lori,
I hope so, Anderson will go to doctor tomorrow check his head and else......... I agree.....:)
The Kite Runner was a very emotional and beautiful movie about immigration, family, and how a man comes to terms with his fears. Very powerful!
Never seen the movie, "The Kite Runner". Will see it now, and pass it on to others who haven't seen it. Thank-you, Anderson!
@Ahmed – It sounds like you got to the Square.
Several of us having been waiting to hear from you.
How was your experience in the Square??
@Jana,Georgia, "This story with Nic is very disturbing. I can't even imagine how many other people have been killed and we will never know about them."
This was a disturbing story. It is frightening to think of how many murders like this may have already occurred, but were not caught on tape.
Nic has been doing an excellent job.
Welcome Back Anderson Glad to see you made it home safely.
