A tweet about an Army Major who just turned in his weapons and joined the protestors:

Army officer Ahmad Shuman speaking on AlJazeera from Tahrir: I joined people. Army should protect people not regime #jan25 #egypt

Another tweet says that Nile TV has turned on a dime and is suddenly praising the Tahrir protests, a very good sign.

One could hardly be blamed for cynically fearing a dirty trick here, after all we’ve seen. But protestors, I think you really may have won.
