Ohhhh those cute and cuddly Egyptians
(CBSNews) On Friday, Feb. 11, the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS chief foreign 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.

Sustained sexual assault = Gang raped

A tailback I coached in 96 joined the marines. He called the shots as a NCO?? at an outpost near Fallujah and Lara was embedded with them for a week. He talked very highly of her. What a tradegy.

I wonder what her security team consisted of and why they failed. I wish her all the best.

Very sad indeed.
A question for the birther-tards: if she ends up getting pregnant from this attack, will the kid still be eligible to be president? Or would having an unidentified African non-Xian father be disqualifying?

I hope she doesn't get pregnant from this attack, but if she does I'm glad she does not live in the Paul M/Dr Torch misogynistic theocratic utopia and can take measures to abort the rape baby instead of having to live with a constant reminder of this brutal attack.

I'm agnostic but hey, it's fun reading the confused libtard twits who start posting before doing a little Q&A.

You don't know how to answer this stupid question all by yourself?
You really need help with the answer.
