One just cannot separate these kinds of comments from the people who make them. This woman is pure evil by any measure.

Well if you go looking for hate mongers on the web there are plenty of them around for sure. I agree with you about this lady. I just wouldn't give her any more press or people to read her garbage. Awful stuff

She's the type that will eat her own young, so she'll take herself out of the gene pool. Good thing. She's a nasty piece of work, isn't she?

Journalism can be a tough world, especially for women. There is no doubt that greater consideration should have been given to putting an attractive fair skinned blond at street level, considering police had earlier informed foreign journalists that the area was considered hostile and unsafe.

The incident initially started with verbal abuse by local women against all journalists present. A camera belonging to a German film crew was damaged, a lot of pushing and shoving started, Lara and her crew became separated, her sound recording engineer witnessed the assault on Lara but was unable to reach her.

He said she was pushed into what looked like a bus shelter. She was surrounded by about eight men, two held her and she was quickly stripped naked and repeatedly groped. A number of these men took lurid self gratification, he confirmed three or four other men carried out penetration, of these two seemed quite old.

At no point was an attempt made to stop them. There was a report that local women intervened, no one can confirmed this. It was a technician from a Dutch news channel who notified soldiers standing nearby, they intervened after about 25 minutes into the assault and Lara was brought through the crowd naked and reunited with two of her crew who commandeered a car and brought her back to their hotel.

Lara is a strong person, it will take considerable time to get her over this.

What happened to Lara Logan was an abomination. One hopes that she does not suffer long term, physical, disease, or mental problems...and that he recovery is quick and complete. Also, one hopes that her career does not suffer; Logan is a brave person doing a dangerous job.

The actual perpetrators of her assault and rape will likely never be apprehended, let alone punished.

It begs the question as to why CBS withheld this information until other media were about to release the story. Were they protecting her privacy? If so, it perhaps would put other reporters in future danger.

Did they not report it because it might give the uprising a black eye; it doesn't comport with CBS view of the overall events? Was CBS worried that Muslims would take offense if they reported the story?

I am agnostic as to the Egyptian revolution. I wonder if the result will be a new government put together in a rather peaceful manner like the formation of the USA after 1783, or whether it will become more like the French Revolution with a decade of strong-men and massive bloodletting before a stable government is formed.

Consider the source and move on. Ignore her. The worst response to her and her like.

I wonder if a man had been sodomized what the reaction would have been.
I was a violent rape victim myself and hope Lara gets the emotional and psychological help she needs.

Men get sodomized every damned day. Wonderful prison systems we have.

Shouldn't the subject be the 100 or more Western journalists who were targeted and beaten during these "peaceful" demonstrations?

The commentator mentioned here is a bit "off" but then so are thousands of other people who bless us with their opinions every day.

They spoke of this on the Diane Rehm show today. This squad that did the assault is part of the pro-Mubarak enterprise and have been perpetrating these kinds of assaults on Egyptian women, with impunity, for about 10 years. Listen to the second hour of Rehm's show today (it is a podcast available from http://thedianerehmshow.org/. )
