CBS News Reporter Sexually Assaulted in Cairo

[namvet]

On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a "60 Minutes" story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently in the hospital recovering.

There will be no further comment from CBS News and Correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time.

Certainly to bad, but reporters have to know the risks. Now, as to launching an investigation, we'll have to see how the Egyptian authorities
handle this crime.

You should see one NY paper today, the headline reads "ANIMALS". Let me see if I can find an online version...

Nope, but I'll try to snap one with my cell later. Perfect headline for a heinous crime by those who ARE animals.

One right-wing blogger blames the victim, writing that Lara paid the price for her "liberal beliefs."

How many male reporters were assaulted during that uprising???

I'm sorry she was harmed in that way, but her network but her in danger. Egypt is a male oriented society where women are routinely abused and here is this cute blond in the middle of all that testosterone? Someone wasn't thinking clearly when they sent her in there.

What!?? A right-wing blogger posted something that a left winger doesn't like. Wow that's got to be a first. Certainly a left wing blogger has never posted their point of view that a right winger would find objectionable.

Perhaps some should spend less time distracted on such trivialities and become more familiar with sharia law.

Yep, Extremely bad judgment, Women in the locker room BS.

Same with woman in the military.
Fairness is one thing but human nature's bear.

The % of women in the U.S. mil that have been raped and abused is ridiculous too.

You can blame it on the Libtard agenda that says men & women are equal.....
Even though it is clearly not true, & she fooled herself into it & paid the price for it......
I wish her a swift recovery.......

Don't see where they "BLAMED" her. I do see where they comment on her BAD judgement!! DID YOU read the article or just the head line. Or did someone tell you what it said?!?!!??! You weren't by chance listening to a liberal news source that told you that is what the article said??!?!

She read what it told her on Media Matters! You didn't think she actually thought for herself, did you?
