Khalid Said: the story that the West has missed

Things in Egypt had been cooking for a while.  The Western press has missed a major story: that of Khalid Said.  Expect that his name will be immortalized in Egypt now.  It was his murder by Mubarak security goons that captured the imagination of the Egyptian youth. Many Egyptians (and other Arabs) changed their profile pictures on Facebook and Twitter into "We are all Khalid Said."
