Lara Logan on brutal attack that nearly killed her: 'I may have been a victim that night, but I am not a victim' (Egypt)

"I may have been a victim that night, but I am not a victim for the rest of my life," said veteran foreign correspondent Lara Logan describing the mindset she adopted in the aftermath of a brutal attack and rape by a mob in Cairo's Tahrir Square in 2011 -- the night that former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak was overthrown.

In an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on her show "Mornings with Maria" on Thursday, Logan talked about how the experience impacted her.

"I think that one of the most significant things for me was that... I had a conventional idea about recovery," Logan said. "That I had to prove to everybody that I was the same person I was before."

So sorry for her injuries, but she knew the danger of wading into a sea of savages and ignored the warnings. Play stupid games.

On my way to the subway station I often use there are several houses that have signs in their front yards saying something like "you're welcome here regardless of where you're from". The sign is in several languages,the most prominent of which is Arabic.

There's a wealthy community near me in a suburb of Los Angeles that has several of those, including the one that says "Love Trumps Hate", posters with a peach on it, and the one that says something like when one person's civil rights are violated everyone's are (MLK quote, I think).

Beyond stupid but, by gum, betcha they feeeeel really good about themselves.

Here in a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas, that's TEXAS, there are a bunch of houses with signs that say...

In this house, we believe:

Black lives matter

Women's rights are human rights.

No human is illegal.

Science is real.

Love is love.

Kindness is everywhere.

I will have no pity for them when they are mugged by reality, which most likely they won't be, but still....

I watched an interview with her where she spoke pretty candidly about what happened. It was really horrible.

She has had several medical issues since the attack along with the stress from cbs. Her looks changed because of all of it.
