UPDATE: One of the Editors has posted a detailed comment below for my readers' attention, so I incorporate it here:
I'm one of the editors of Tahrir Documents. I wanted to point out for your readers that your initial assessment is indeed correct, and we have no ideological underpinnings with the project. We translate and post any material we find from in and around Tahrir Square (and other areas of Egypt) that has to do with the events of the past 7 months. Anything sent to us by activists that we post is noted as such. We make no distinctions regarding our translations and have done our best to assemble a catalogue of the political developments occurring in Egypt. It is at times a rather eclectic mix, and I encourage your readers to explore our website by category of interest as we have recently put much time into reorganizing all of our materials. We hope the site can serve as an archive for future students and scholars of Middle Eastern affairs, and we continue to post new translations every day. For updates, readers can follow us on Twitter @TahrirDocuments.
Thanks!
