I have now heard two different reports on Al Jareeza that local Egyptian media has reported that the both chambers of parliament and the cabinet have been dissolved.

This sounds like one of those extra-constitutional moves (is that the right phrase, extra-constitutional??) that you mentioned in your previous post. It is disturbing to me how military organizations can have such a huge role in how governments rise and fall.
