Weekend Links, Shamelessly Borrowed from The Arabist

I'm outta here for the weekend, and was busy today and tonight, but The Arabist dropped a whole lot of link dumps today and you may want to follow them; one of Algerian links (the merguez picture is a nice touch), though I've already linked to two of the articles he mentions; another on the whole Mabhouh/Mossad/Dubai soap opera; a big roundup of general links; and a whole bunch of Egypt updates.

While you're over there, see Ursula Lindsey's post on "Where is Cairo headed?", which samples her longer version for The Review at The National called "And then Cairo Turned Itself Inside Out."

And another item, this one not stolen from The Arabist, but also from The Nstional: "Was Mabhouh betrayed by someone inside Hamas?"

I thank Issandr for saving me work, and hope those links hold you for the weekend.
