Just arriving from NYU:
From Karen J. Greenberg, Executive Director, Center on Law and Security
Nir Rosen is always provocative, but he crossed the line yesterday with his comments about Lara Logan. I am deeply distressed by what he wrote about Ms. Logan and strongly denounce his comments. They were cruel and insensitive and completely unacceptable. Mr. Rosen tells me that he misunderstood the severity of the attack on her in Cairo. He has apologized, withdrawn his remarks, and submitted his resignation as a fellow, which I have accepted. However, this in no way compensates for the harm his comments have inflicted. We are all horrified by what happened to Ms. Logan, and our thoughts are with her during this difficult time.Yesterday, I predicted, with some cynicism, some sweeping of this under the rug, so I applaud NYU’s Center on Law and Security for taking this seriously. I believe in the First Amendment and the need to forgive the occasional stupid, thoughtless, or insensitive comment; everyone makes one sooner or later. But there was some something profoundly disturbing in Rosen’s complete inability to sympathize with the awful ordeal of Ms. Logan and the fact that when others recoiled at his comments, he kept digging in deeper.
His own Twitter posts cost him his job.
What you post on the interwebs never goes away.
Good riddance.
Never, ever assume you can post somewhere without attribution...
In other words, Nir Rosen could be a schmuck?
He's more than a schmuck. He should have gotten sh*tcanned years ago.
so what did he say? is there a link?
For those of us who missed it, what exactly did this creep say?
Ping
BULLSHIITE!
Basically that she was asking for it. He also called her a “warmonger” (because she has done so much reporting from Iraq and Trashcanistan) and mused that it would’ve been funny if Anderson Cooper got raped too.
He sounds like a very nasty unhinged liberal academic (hence the “warmonger” comment).

Thanks for the < blockquote > ! < / blockquote >
From the NYDN article:
“The tweet, ‘Jesus Christ, at a moment when she is going to become a martyr and glorified we should at least remember her role as a major war monger,’ was followed by, ‘Look, she was probably groped like thousands of other women.’”

Nir = UPT
Useless Piece of Trash.
On the other hand...
The reporter was deported the day before and she should have stayed back in the US with her two children. No returned to Egypt.
Who is this guy, and who names their child Nir?
I like how after they are called out for their attacks they say “This is not who I am”.
Oh, yes it is.
So, he thought the “little Eichman” had it coming?
thanks
looks like his next job will be with al Jazeera
