It seems that the army brass told Mubarak he was out and he agreed. Then as someone put it "He called an audible" and said he was staying. From what I hear the army then went to the presidential palace and put him out. I do not imagine the army has too many Muslim Brothrthood members, so they may be hard put to get a foot in the door. Used to work with an Egyptian lady - software engineer - she sure did not dress like the muslim women.
