CBS reporter Lara Logan is vowing to return to work ... and she's telling friends what happened to her in Egypt will not destroy her.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us the details of Logan's assault are horrible -- but Lara is back with her kids and is vowing to go back to work within weeks.

>> mothers shouldn’t run for president <<
I agree with you to the extent that they shouldn’t run if they have minor children. Raising children should always be a mother’s primary obligation. But if the “children” are now grown ups, IMHO it’s OK for a mother to run for POTUS, to be a foreign correspondent in harms way, etc.
Yeah,,, walkng into a muslim mob alone is JUST the same as living in the white house. lol
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.
When were fathers not allowed in harm’s way?
“Stuff” happens - and I say this not to diminish what she went through. Quite the contrary. Women who take these risks generally aren’t stupid. And there are so many women who take risks and survive unscathed. Reporters, missionaries, contractors, Peace Corps volunteers, soldiers, etc. We only hear about the random, terrible consequences of women in dangerous situations because it makes for good ratings and stimulates discussions.
It’s no different than if a man takes risks and suffers the consequences, whatever those consequences may be. Do kids suffer less because their dad was harmed?
Very well said.
Its is what I posted. See if you have eyes. Hear if you have ears.
Lara logan knows war is serious business.
>>>10 seconds of research would have informed you that she is currently married. Perhaps you should scrap your current translator, as it is obviously flawed.>>>
Unfortunately, my “translator” doesn’t compensate for sloppy, inaccurate reporting. BTW, the report says “kids”, whereas Wikipedia only mentions 1 child by her current husband. Regardless, my objections still stand.
Yeah,, not dads. Btw,,, FR isn’t supposed to advocate gay positions. Dad does danger,,, mom focuses of on kids. Its a beautiful thing.

Jessica Lynch: I was raped
POW claims military manipulated her story
Advance press of former POW Jessica Lynch’s biography includes the shocking revelation the 19-year-old Army supply clerk was raped and sodomized by her Iraqi captors.
That’s fine. Just clarifying. So maybe Todd Palin can run instead of Sarah.
Liberals simply refuse to listen to what real Muslims in the Mid-East (not the ones trotted out for CNN) tell us over and over again. They are very clear on what they believe.
If your clothing in public reveals skin - you are a whore
If you travel with un-related men - you are a whore
If you are an infidel from the corrupt West - you are a whore.
Leftist ideology is their religion, so they have ears, but they simply refuse to listen. I feel sorry for Ms. Logan, but she and CBS seem to want to remain deaf.
and blind!
Considering the death threats against Sarah AND her kids, i think that is a VERY valid consideration that she needs to take into account in deciding to run. And i feel sure she will. As a mother, i think it’s a mother’s duty to have their children’s interests paramount in whatever they choose to do. I realize not everyone thinks that way, but i do. i am a professional woman with a career and i have always put my kids interests ahead of that career and suffered professionally because of it and have NO regrets.
From their own website: "There will be no further comment from CBS News and correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time"
Don't you just love how they give themselves privacy when their targets for destruction are not allowed the same?
FUCBS!
Nice try. I said the US avoided sending them in harms way. Look up 1940's peacetime draft law.
It’s no different than if a man takes risks and suffers the consequences, whatever those consequences may be.
I disagree entirely.
Do kids suffer less because their dad was harmed?
If mom and dad hear a prowler downstairs one night, do you think it matters who goes down to investigate?
It is no one’s fault other than the attackers. I hope she is doing well and heals quickly.
That sort of response is thoughtful, humane, and will not be tolerated on this forum.
Learn from your fellow posters:
She is hot, she had it coming.
She has a career with certain risks, she deserved it.
She’s a single mom, must be a tramp-we should shun her.
She shouldn’t be blonde.
It’s CBS’s fault, it’s feminists fault, it’s BO’s fault, it’s lib’s fault,
...ad freaking nauseum.
Whatever sport, give me a call when Sarah abandons her kids for weeks and months to wade into the middle of an islamic mob wearing pearls. The president is a safe reasonable job for a mom. Unless of course,,, you simply oppose women having jobs.
