In a shocking sign of how quickly things are escalating in Egypt’s time of revolution, CNN’s Anderson Cooper and his news crew were attacked by President Mubarak supporters in Cairo Wednesday. One of Cooper’s producers tweeted early this morning that the journalist had been “punched 10 times in the head as pro-Mubarak mob surrounded him and his crew trying to cover demonstration.”
