CBS News' Lara Logan Sexually Assaulted During Egypt Protests

CBS ^

[COBOL2Java]

Unfortunately she probably never suspected there was any danger. She’s young enough that she probably got the standard liberal education on the American oppression of the world.

Guess you could say she is now a graduate of the School of Hard Knocks...

[Loud Mime]

They should have sent Helen Thomas.

Sadly, that makes some sort of sense. But what would they have said about America after they saw her? We truly would have been the great satan.

[Candor7]

Hey CBS, how is that Cairo democrafarcey thang workin out fer yah, eh?

Lara is lucky to be alive.

[rintense]

Not the first time Muslims have used raped as a terror tool, ie, Sudan.

Bastards. I hope they rot in hell.

[Red in Blue PA]

That’s stupid of CBS News. They should only had sent young, single male reporters to the Middle East.

How about blaming the monsters who did this?

[WaterBoard]

You kneejerk automatically believe liberal reporters who tried their hardest to damage the war effort in Iraq like Ms. Logan, I don’t.

If you read the CBS notice about the attack, it is completely unsourced, just a blind statement with no names attached to it. Yet, in your eyes it is 100% credible.

I have not said her background merited any attack, I just said I don’t automatically believe everything I read considering the source.

[AdamBomb]

ughhh...before you start the liberal journalist crap...her husband is a defense contractor and she has two little kids.

[Red in Blue PA]

If you had any class, you would ask the mods to remove that comment.

I am sure that Logan volunteered for the assignment and was not forced by CBS to do it. She could have done more to protect her own security by dressing differently. The main reason CBS has not been more forthcoming about the incident is because it doesn’t fit with their narrative about who those people in the streets really are.

[stilloftyhenight]

“Do you have sympathy for Anderson Cooper who was also hit and beaten?”

I do. I have sympathy for all in harm’s way. You can’t equate what happened to LL with a beating. It is something far worse.

[Viking2002]

Oh, this was the one who had that whole back-alley soap opera going on in Iraq a couple of years ago? I stand corrected. Karma can be a bitch, eh?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[Hot Tabasco]

I spoke with both her field producer (who was there and came back with her) and some guys on the Desk who I’ve kinown for years.

I'm sure you have........Considering her history and CBS's protection of Rather, I'm calling this story bullshit despite your name dropping "high sources"...........

Maybe you should check with your "Very Senior Retired CIA officer" buddy to get the complete details, he should have that information shouldn't he?

[Loud Mime]

The real perps are out of our reach, that is why some people are looking at this side of the ocean.

I do wonder if Ms. Logan had any say in the idea of sending her to Egypt. Whose idea was it to send a young, good looking blond babe to an Arab country during a period of political unrest?

That would be interesting.

I hope she is healing and doing well - - and I hope with my whole heart that she didn’t experience what I fear she experienced.

[kabar]

When did I ever say that she did it to herself? I do believe that she took unnecessary risks by dressing the way she did given the circumstances and the region. I lived 9 years in three Islamic countries. You don’t make yourself a target needlessly. Logan is a tough, experienced reporter who knew the risks going in. Her gender is really irrelevant to me.

[Velveeta]

No woman “deserves” to be gang raped. Period.

[manc]

and our muppet welcomes, and respect these animals.

No doubt CBS care more about their agenda then actually calling on bozo the clown to denounce this and speak the truth about the real protesters.

Now imagine if this was a tea party?

[manc]

why send a good looking woman into these places anyway.
It just shows how of touch the left is with muslims and certain areas.
In their world it is all rosy and peace

[kabar]

No offense, but are you nuts? Of course reporters should do their jobs, but they have to understand the risks involved when you go into the middle of a revolution in a Middle Eastern culture. You have to be insane to think that somehow being a reporter protects you in some magical way from the dangers involved. Maybe it is because I have lived over nine years in these Islamic countries and visited Egypt many times that I have a different perspective than you do. Logan is no stranger to the region or being in a war zone.

Oh, and BTW, you forgot Greg Palkot and his cre who were also assaulted.....why didn’t you mention them?

I can't mention them all. Palkot is just the same as Logan and Cooper to me in terms of their treatment. She deserves no special sympathy. She was doing her job and understood the risks and dangers involved. I have no doubt she volunteered for the job.

[Red in Blue PA]

She is an enemy. Enemies deserve worse than what she got.

You are a moron.

She is a reporter doing her job. Get a clue.

[manc]

can you tell me that joke again please as I’ve forgot it
