"ahead of Clinton's visit", Mubarak lets Ayman Nour go...

"...Nour's freedom comes amid talk that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton may visit Egypt in March for a donors conference on reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. ..... "The timing also has to do with Mubarak's potential visit to the U.S. They wanted to release [Nour] before this visit so that the decision does not seem like a response to external pressures but purely domestic.".....Under Egyptian law, a felon cannot run for office....."
