"They have blood on their hands"

CNN's Anderson Cooper was on fire last night -- I think when the new editor of the Daily News freed us from "the tyranny of the inverted pyramid," he was talking about something like this. But then, few situations are as intense as the people's uprising in Egypt:

"That is the truth of the Mubarak regime," he said. "They have blood on their hands...are they really going to change for themselves?" He also said he would expose the "lies" of the government. The word, he said, was "one we rarely use...but we can't think of another word right now to describe what the Egyptian government has been saying, because what they have been saying is the direct opposite of what they have been doing."

Alas, I am unable to embed the video, but I encourage anyone who cares about good journalism to follow this link and watch it.
