Wael Ghonim, Freed Google Manager, 'Ready To Die' For Egypt

Wael Ghonim, a Google manager who has become something of a hero among Egyptian protesters, stated on Wednesday that it really is "no longer the time for you to negotiate" with the government.

In an interview together with CNN, Ghonim said, "We all went on the pavement on the 25th, and that we wanted to negotiate. We wanted to talk to the government.... They decided to negotiate with us at night time, with rubber bullets, along with police sticks, with drinking water hoses, with tear gas."

According to CNN's Ivan Watson, Ghonim also said he is "able to die" for the cause.

Ghonim was reported lacking in late January. Silk authorities released the Yahoo employee on Monday, as well as Ghonim addressed hundreds of thousands in Cairo the following day.
