I don't think she "deserved it" either; however, personal responsibility comes into play here. If she bought the "lefts bull", then the actions happening in Egypt (American correspodents being attacked prior) should have been warning enough.
On that point I will agree with you. It was certainly poor judgment, to say the least.
Actually, to be there at ALL is poor judgment, given a #%*#%*# REVOLUTION was going on. I guess she just expected the protesters to behave the way those vile and violent Tea Party jerks do back home. Probably never expected all that civility.
I wish she had exercised better judgment, but hope this wakes up a large swath of people who refuse to acknowledge the threat we face.
