"Now, she should have known that she was in the midst of animals but....."

Your "but" indicates her own personal responsibility whether you intended or not.

I think most FReepers do have sympathy for her, but as your "but" indicates, there is also personal responsibility for one's self.

Again, it's her fault??? Was she wearing sexy lingerie? those poor Muslims just couldn't help themselves.

Reporters are frequently in situations that are dangerous. She was supposed to be protected by her camera crew and her security staff. She wasn't alone until they got separated. On top of that, wasn't she covering the celebration of Hosni Mubarak resigning?

One question I would like answered, was she assigned to cover this celebration or did she just do it on her own? Now, this sounds sexist, but, if someone sent her into the fray knowing how Muslims view women, then that person bears some responsibility,too. Either that or they bought into Bush's religion of peace B.S.
