EGYPT IS FREE...HOORAY?


cbs news- 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.

Guys! Guys! Take it down a notch! Look, I'd like to bang Lara Logan as much as the next guy, but this is ain't cool! Is this the kind of shit that went down under Mubarak's reign? Well guess what Abdul? Hosni's gone. You guys want real democracy? Start acting civilized. If you want to take out your agression by beating on some western reporters, go ahead. Punch Anderson Cooper in the face. Kick Harry Smith in the nut sack. Smash a camera over Brian Williams' smug face. Just leave the ladies alone, that shit ain't cool.
