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 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.
[begin op comment]
Knew something was going on when she was not on air from here in US after returning to CONUS.
This rumor has been working for a few days, and was all but confirmed by the lack of comment or denials from anyone at Black Rock or West 57th.
Some may say Logan has a checkered past, but nothing deserves this!
When 3 CBS engineers were killed by a perp years ago, Rather went into a (well deserved) on-air outrage. This time, there will probably be nothing, because, Lord knows, we don’t want to upset the “Arab Street.” Source with many years in SWA says many Muslims will approve of this, because, it was an infidel getting what she deserved.
When will the rest of America wake up?
If I take a trip down to the projects at 4am and get mugged/gangraped, will I garner any sympathy here?
Didnt think so.
It was a small, loud minority who made those claims. Please don't scoop all of us into that nasty pile.
Since there is a no comment policy on such things...and that makes sense, it is possible that the details reported are incorrect in her favor. I hope so.
If the report is close to the truth, our prayer should be that this woman recover. It was an assault on her, and an affront to God.
I’m just glad she got out of there ASAP before asinine Shar’ia law declared HER guilty.
I’m sure this will get me banned but F Islam. I’m sick of this crappy braindead BS.
Where is Obama’s outrage? I mean, he was outraged with the black prof white cop incident; even had a beer summit.
White women savagely raped by Muslim men in Egypt, where he says we share the same values and morals, not a word.
Maybe Lara will do like Daniel Pearl’s wife, forgive them, make a movie, etc.
Yes, if the political parties in Egypt consisted of ALL women, I would believe democracy might be possible.
The fact is that most of Egypt has no democratic institutions or values. Its “eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”.
Those who perpetrated this crime on Logan are animals. She was there because her liberal fascist editors in New York live in a pretend world that cannot perceive the actual facts concerning Muslim society.This is how fascsim works, it predefines through political correctness what is to be acknowledged and what is to be “non-existent.”
Obama is pro Muslim.Therefore Muslims raping a public figure like Lara Logan “did not happen.”It was brutal sexual assault, and don’t hold your breath to find out what really happened.
I want the truth of what happened to prove that the liberal fasists are WRONG about Muslim society. I want the world to see what Lara Logan now knows, that the Muslims are not only uncivilized, but that we cannot live side by side with them until they enter the modern era of humanism. It is not up to the contemporary world to change, it is up to Muslims to change, and if they do not, then out with them, we do not want them in America, nor do we want to have any association with those who do not believe in the constitution of the United States as a sacred document.
THe Koran?....Burn them all as far as I am concerned,no loss.
One Western Woman, now laying in the hospital recovering form a beating and dear knows what else,is worth more than all the korans in the world put together.
Maybe they will find some of the perpetators.That would prove interesting. Maybe Obama would have them over to the White Hut for a beer, or maybe a glass of camel’s milk and a sleep over.
THe nationas attitude to multiculturalism comcerning Muslims must change to be in comformity with facts and events. I have had enough of Obama and his Muslim cultural
meme.
Just shout back at them “Remember Lara Logan!” when they want to build that mosque in New York City.Thats exactly what CBS is afraid of.
No I am not, I am a conservative and I have been assaulted, and this issue cuts deep, I don’t care what station she works for, what political affiliations she has, or whether she is liberal or conservative,
this is just absolutely horrific what this women has been through, have some compassion.
You know in a way I agree,
I think the rape was a way of sending a message to the rest of us.
ba$tards

How horrible. Prayers for a full recovery.
“Poor Lara thought she was in, like, Time Square on New Years Eve, only different.”
That sounds terrible, but you’re right. There is no reason for any American (especially a woman) to be in the middle of this crap without a large number of HEAVILY armed guards. She’s lucky she didn’t end up like Daniel Pearl.
That's outrageous if you believe that! Seek help immediately!
I second that motion. This is outrageous. Poor lady was trying to do her job. It's like running into the middle of full cross fire oblivious the bullets are real. Prayers for her healing, for her family. Death to those rapist scum, myy their sacs be eaten by scarabs. Scum, SCUMSCUM. Oh how mindless can it be when rape is such a brutal act not of sexuality but anger and megalomania. I highly doubt there will ever be a perp, and if so never a court case, it's just tragic, yes foolish on her part but she did NOT ask for this.
You have accused me of lying. I do not take challenges to my honor lightly. 100 years ago, we would have settled this in a duel, but since the State of Florida had the foolish and misguided timidity to outlaw Trial By Mortal Combat, we will have to settle it in another way.
You challenged me to post a picture of me doing a standup at Chernobyl. Fine, I'll post it, but just to make things interesting.... let's make it VERY interesting.
Instead of pistols at dawn, take out a mortgage on your double wide or whatever else you have to do to be able to post a minimum of $25,000 in cash or a certified check. I'll do the same.
Any amount up to $250,000 I can cover with cash. Over than, we have to raid the retirement CDs, and you know what they are paying now.
We take your $25,000 - $250,000, and my equal amount, and we deposit them with a board-certified lawyer-mediator, or a honorably retired judge.
Then, I'll post a picture of me doing a standup at Chernobyl. Even better, I'll post a sworn statement from the videographer, who is also in the picture, that it's me and that it's at Chernobyl, which I might add is very obvious from the picture.
I'll also post a sworn statements to the same effect from the retired president of the International Association of Fire Chiefs and a prominent American oncologist who were both there.
If I'm lying, you get all the cash. If I'm not, I get it, with the caveat that whoever wins gives 10% of the total wager to JimRob for FR.
So that's the deal. Are you a man of your convictions or just a big mouth with a computer? It's put up or shut up time.
The bottom line is simple; are you a Man or a Mouth.... or a Mouse?
Got the guts?
You might enjoy #273.
It’s for real.
:)
We should be pissed off an American citizen was treated in such a way, regardless of their affiliations.
She should not have been there, Hell we shouldnt be there. leave the jerks their sandbox.
Her dead body probably would have been found a few days later if those women and soldiers hadn’t rescued her. Kudos to them. Poor woman. I pray that she finds healing and comfort from God and from her family and loved ones. Thank God she is alive.
Yeah, but you don’t want to go 3 rounds with Leslie, trust me!
A great, tough lady.
I’m going to be more careful when posting to you in the future. ;)
If Christians had done something like this, it would be front-page news.
If a group of conservatives or Republicans had done this, we'd NEVER hear the end of it.
The MSM would be talking about it for years.
Lara had the bad luck of being attacked by members of a new liberal 'victim group': Muslims. She won't get sympathy or much support...
