What you didn't know about attack on reporter Lara Logan

[srad]

Attackers screamed "Jew, Jew" as they sexually assulted Logan... covered up since it didn't fit the story line of Egypt's revolution being a jubilant, democracy-loving freedom movement

CBS complicit in news coverup - BostonHerald.com

This. They should be publicly drawn and quartered. Filthy animals.

And on top of this kind of thing, they've got their sand stacked up on top of our oil.

Israel will take care of this situation since the State Dept has limp wrists.

Hmmm...I'm going to give CBS the benefit of the doubt and rather say that they sat on it to protect her privacy as long as they could. She deserved at least a few days to recover without the whole world knowing.

There's not much the State Department can do right now, because Egypt doesn't really have a government right now. With no government, there's no one for the State Dept. to work through or with. Unless we want to occupy a third country in the Middle East?

If you want it you are going to bleed.......

I just learned that today.
That happend to lots of other women too from what I heard, not just one single american journalist.
That's sad.

we should turn that whole region into a sheet of glass, then erect a 400 foot tall statue of Elvis right in the middle of it

You won't be popular here with your independent, rational thought.

I'm not sure this is totally true. I think the military holds a greater role government than we've been led to believe. I think it's one of the reasons Mubarak didn't just send the military in to quash the protests. I think it's one of the reasons there's been no major popular backlash to the military seeming to take control. They essentially already held some of it. It's not the great big power vacuum it seems on the surface, IMO.

Good post!

A reporter may or may not be considered 'safe' in an unstable region such as that...

This could very well be true. I heard a story on NPR back on Feb. 4th about how the military may own up to 40% of the Egyptian economy. But it still seems that they were not anticipating having to run the country right now.

I'd prefer Jesus Quintana, but I like the way you think.

That much I do believe.

I keep seeing stories that she wasn't raped(I read that earlier, but it was just one article and I had my reservations). This makes me happy...At least she gets to keep a bit of her dignity.

To hell with all of those pieces of **** that would beat an innocent woman. I hope and pray she has a speedy recovery.

Why in the world was she out there in the first place without bodyguards? Actually... why was she out there at all? Yes, she was doing her job, but in a mob full of law breaking Arab men, what did a pretty white girl think was going to happen? I do indeed feel sorry for whatever happened to her, but I can't help but note her poor judgement in going out there like that.
