“she most definitely is responsible for what happened to her”

Why focus on the poor woman instead of the murderous thugs that assaulted her? Of course, given her experience in the Muslim world, it is odd that she would place herself in that situation - probably due to raw ambition, wanting to be in the center of the action. Having lived in the Arab world, I know how they go nuts over attractive Western blonds. She must have known that as well. But from the photo she seems to be dressed modestly (a head scarf may have helped). But the whole incident just highlights the murderous hatred and incendiary violence that is always just under the surface in the Arab world. But this woman has paid a heavy price for her ambition, and our indignation should be directed towards those who assaulted her.

It’s too bad for CNN that it wasn’t some right wing Tea Party mob.

They’d report on it non stop, 24/7, like it was the biggest crime since the OJ trial.

Oh well, they can still bring her home, dress her in revealing clothing, and whore her around the talk circuit.

I figure her book will be out by November.

The news business doesn’t work that way. You get the call, you go. Its a make or break career sort of thing. It’s fundamentally wrong.

Something tells me American unions, Marxists, and UN operatives are involved...

You are exactly right... (Podesta group?)

They have taken a medieval religion and grafted it onto marxism.

The delusional leftists think they have allies everywhere. They couldn't be more wrong.

Keeping this shocking and upsetting story (it would particularly shock many an American woman watching the evening news, just the image of what probably happened to this woman) under wraps by the US drive-by media, while most dishonest, necessarily has to be within their narrative and conform to it without question or exception , i.e. that Tahrir Square, Facebook/Twitter Phenomenon and the fantastic "democracy uprising masses" in Cairo were just the most wonderful thing since chipped beef on rye.

Of course, to report that Ms Logan was raped and beat up by a bunch of filthy, stinking, non-Western, non-Judeo Christian stinking Muslim *youth*s, would p*ss ALL OVER THEIR CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED NARRATIVE TEMPLATE they carefully and propagandistically crafted over the last three weeks, 24/7, with respect to Egypt and toppling one of our allies who has kept the peace with Israel and allowed women to go out un-burka-ed in that land.

Don't expect much on this, and as other posters have said, if anyone gets blamed, it will be anyone except the real culprits. Look out, Amish!

REPORTERS put themselves there for dubious reasons—I refuse to glorify them when it goes bad. She wasn’t there to report-she was there to create news. She did....

Precisely...

The news media is there only for a political agenda. They get what they deserve as a result... It is Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs... tyranny for the last 5,000 years... nothing has changed since then...

60 years ago something like this would have strengthened our resolve

today after decades of self destruction over racial redress we are. completely defeated over anything non white or non-Christian

hence nary a peep....it will be excused or rationalized and she may even be blamed for being there as a white blonde woman.

most of her media peers will say nothing controversial as will our president

she will get treated as Knoxville or Wichita or little rock race crimes...ignored

will we ever find our balls again?

no...we are not the same America

look at the OJ reaction side by.sides

the US i grew up with is now only in old movies

So deeply sad over this article. So glad she wasn't killed by that gang of criminals.

Egypt was a land of beautiful people; kind people; wonderful people. The so-called "people" in that crowd (and the criminals who looted the Cairo Museum) need to be brought to justice.

Obviously Mubarrak left too soon. His force-out was a FARCE that will only lead to DESTABLIZATION. So VERY sad. Everything right now. The world is upside down.

You’re absolutely right. There’s nothing remotely amusing about this situation.

Logan and her crew should have be ordered out of that “inspiring” movement for “democracy”. The risk was more than obvious - it was guaranteed, and the experts knew it.

What do they think is going to happen when they send a female into a mob like that? Especially a western female?

Yeah, and how many lefty scumbags in this country - - the same assclowns who have now forced the military to accept homos who, by definition, have mental and emotional disorders - - are STILL trying to force our military to put women into combat roles? They have no clue whatsoever about the military and have not given the first thought to what happens to women who are captured.

This incident with Logan is a perfect preview, but don't count on a single one of those lefty scumbags to make the connection. And even if they did it wouldn't matter to them anyway since their goal is the destruction of the US military and traditional American values.

FRegards,
LH

Women (and especially foreign women) are often sexually harassed in Egypt. However, the politically correct crowd has tried to convince us otherwise. For example, a female writer tried to tell everyone a week and a half ago that the noble ideals of the revolution had changed Tahrir Square into a grope-free zone.

http://www.slate.com/id/2283629/

The sister of a friend of mine studied Arabic in Egypt and couldn’t wait to get out because many of the Egyptian men assumed, because of her blonde hair, that she was likely a Russian prostitute (and so treated her accordingly).

When a female tourist wrote an article about the excessive harassment she experienced, she was attacked on-line by many people who claimed that it must have been her fault. One on-line detractor included a well-known female Egyptologist who lives in Cairo and should have known better than to pretend otherwise.

No, not really.

Discussing rape makes people squirm.
