CBS News' Lara Logan Brutally Assaulted During Egypt Protests CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent Separated From Her Crew And Brutally Assaulted on Day Mubarak Stepped Down CBS News Correspondent Lara Logan in Tahrir Square moments before she was attacked on Feb. 11, 2011. (CBS) (CBSNews) 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.

Maybe they should take the hint, and stay OUT of there... If they were any more blunt about how much they hate Western media talking-heads, they'd be putting bullets through them... Nothing worse than a reporter who's trying to "cover the story" becoming "the story."
Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum. "You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai" "Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs.
They followed the muzslime democratic process. The majority agreed that she was asking for it by not covering her head. The minority always gets oppressed by the majority in a democracy, which is why the framers of our Constitution rejected that horrid form of government, in favor of a Republic.
You're foaming, CE
lol
That's wrong. Karma's too mysterious to fuck with in that way. No one deserves to be violated.
I can agree with you on that one.

the assault should serve as a reminder of Logan’s “role glorifying war and condemning Rolling Stone’s Hastings while defending McChrystal.”
