Not like she wasn't aware, though: this is from 2001.
Byline: ROSA PRINCE Lara, 30, who acknowledged that a sex attack was "always a possibility" while working among Afghanistan's brutal tribal factions, was saved by her loyal interpreter. She had interviewed the gun- carrying Alliance fighters and faced having to stay in the area overnight because it would be unsafe to travel after dark. The pair tried to bribe translator Mohammed Mohammadullah into delaying her departure and told him they planned to "have their way" with her.
Mohammadullah refused the offer and rushed Lara to safety. "He was a man who I trusted - literally - with my life," said Lara yesterday. "I will always be grateful. But I believe you have to take calculated risks. It was always a possibility that I would be raped in Afghanistan but you have to weigh up the probability of it. I was never foolhardy but I thought it all through and decided how I would cope if it did happen.
"I didn't take foolish risks and I am an experienced journalist who knows how to avoid dangerous situations."
That’s a woman whose dumb luck was far greater than her ability to calculate risk. She may have chosen the right guide but she chose entirely the wrong place to go. She was lucky _they_ decided she was worth neither the money nor the trouble.

I bet that she thought she could get herself out of a situation. Plus the fact that her editor would never send her in a position that was so dangerous.
I also wonder how much of the MSM believe the White House when they talk about how good things are going. Can they be that stupid to believe Obama and his sycophants?
If she still feels that way it would be beyond my comprehension.
