The young executive had been tweeting about joining the uprising.

A massive crowd of anti-government protesters poured into Cairo’s Tahrir Square again Tuesday, joined for the first time by a young leader of the campaign the day after he was released from detention and wept through a televised interview where he declared: “We are not traitors.”

Many said they were inspired by Wael Ghonim, the 30-year-old Google Inc. marketing manager who was a key organizer of the online campaign that sparked the first protest on Jan. 25. Straight from his release from 12 days of detention, Ghonim gave an emotionally charged television interview, sobbing at times over those who have been killed. He dubbed the protests “the revolution of the youth of the Internet.”

Fifi Shawqi, a 33-year-old upper-class housewife who came with her three daughters and her sister to the Tahrir protest for the first time, said Ghonim inspired her.

Others in the crowd said they too were joining for the first time. Read More: http://content.usatoday.net/dist/custom/gci/InsidePage.aspx?cId=democratandchronicle&sParam=35744449.story
