CBS News says that correspondent Lara Logan was attacked and sexually assaulted last Friday in Cairo’s Tahrir Square while filming a piece for “60 Minutes.”
From the CBS News statement:
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 a 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.
CBS really knows how to protect their female reporters....send them tho dangerous places to get raped and beaten.... then CBS reports it all to the world with no regard for privacy concerns of the individual. Though she maybe liberal, but why broadcast her raping....this is
puzzling about liberals...
I would sincerely hope she has learned .. they're friggin' animals of a baser sort and a cancer to civilized society.
All they have going for them is a frenzied mob of sufficient numbers to produce a state of terror to the unprepared.
A gun, my dear, would have gone a long way to show those vermin what a real American woman of freedom and libeerty was all about.
Instead, she will tout the merits of other women instead of her self.
A speedy recovery and prayers for your well being and calmed spirit.
My goodness, you took away my exact words.
“Democracy in action.”
This is what all these media folks have been working for.
And she was saved by the army, whom they all deplore.
Prayers for her recovery.
I'm sure Logan, even before this event, had no idealistic pretense about the "greatness" of Islam.
Muslims/arabs consider women dirt.
Isn’t she the ex-model/homewrecker who had men brawling over her in Baghdad? Yeah, she’s a wild one alright. Probably thought it was cute going into a crowd of known savages in revealing clothing who, no doubt, had read about her sexual exploits.
the female reporters and Anderson Cooper will be wearing burkas from now on....
Another Obama victory.
How many $$$ millions does this babe grab per annum?
prayers for her recovery
CBS bears some responsibility and of course the muslim thugs.
But who could not see this as a possibility given muslims attitudes toward women?

WOW !
Did you ever hit the nail on the head!
ML/NJ
Women who look like that are never safe in Muslim countries unless they are dressed in a burqua ... and then only if accompanied by their husband ... and hopefully another couple of dozen or so armed bodyguards
Women are as cattle, and should be treated like the stupid pack animals that they are!
(hey, just stating the facts as Muslim men see it)
This is a very sad thing. It’s horrible to see how our “PC” culture has made people so vulnerable to the animals that prowl the streets, here and in Cario.
In the days prior to this bad incident, western news crews with men or with women in the makeup of the crews were often roughed up. I think it was irresponsible for CBS and the other news organizations to keep sending in crews without some real security as this or a crew death was bound to happen. I am sad this young woman was so wrongly harmed.
