In honor of David's concerns, I have decided to make the title of my own talk at Wikimania 2008 "Free knowledge and human rights" and I will use this opportunity to speak out against censorship and other violations of human rights around the world, including examples from Egypt.

I'm not sure that's wise, Jimbo, unless you've already checked with the Egyptian authorities and gotten their approval for it. Egypt have apparently this year arrested quite a few journalists in Egypt investigating stories about violations of human rights in Egypt. For your own personal safety, I suggest you don't do this.
I honestly doubt the Egyptian authorities are that dumb. :)
Being named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world was somewhat silly... obviously I am no such thing. But it does provide a certain immunity against random arrest that non-famous local bloggers unfortunately do not enjoy.
