May have been a suicide. Terribly sad.

Update: Some doubts about suicide. May have been an accident.

I’m too swamped today to write an original analysis of the Cairo speech. (You can watch the video at Salon.) Reactions:

M.J. Rosenberg: Speech “fair and balanced.”

Alex Koppelman: Speech titled “A New Beginning.” As opposed to an old beginning, I suppose.

Peter Daou: Not impressed.

Steve Benen: A dramatic success.

Who hated it?

• The Right. You know where they are.
• Hamas and Hezbollah. See various comments at the BBC.
• Iran.

Other stuff: Today also is the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The link is to a very good account of what went down that day written by the Guide to Asian History at About.com, Kallie Szczepanski.
