I am appalled by the news of the attack Lara Logan Friday during protests in Tahrir Square. The foreign correspondent for CBS News was surrounded crowd separated from her "60 Minutes" crew at the time. She "suffered a brutal and prolonged sexual assault and cons" before they rescued by a group of women and Egyptian soldiers. She managed to return to the States and is currently recuperating in a hospital. All history is almost horrible, I'm at a loss for words.
And if the report is somehow not enough to turn the stomach, the contributions of repulsion (documented by an intelligent room, Living), who went, was until a few hours after the news that will certainly be released:
First, a LA Weekly blog by Simon Wilson, who established that "Warzone" It Girl "was" known for their offensive action looks good and ballsy for small hands made his way into the heart of. He described the crowd: "Then occurred in a race excitement, Egyptian demonstrators apparently their newly acquired independence of sexual coercion, the journalist girlfriend.
A political blog MoFo two weeks ago, when Logan was arrested on the night in Egypt, said: "OMG, if I kidnappers and there were no penalties for rape had completely." In light of the terrible news today, the site will be published - said that "joke removed to Egypt, the sad news that Lara Logan in fact, it was sooo raped. Super what I can say, however, that while I cried. "Disgusting.
And a member of the Center for Law and Security at NYU, Nir Rosen, taste, thrown out the window on Twitter, after hearing the news: "I'm rolling his eyes at all the attention it will come." (He has since apologized - "As someone who has dedicated his career to defending the victims and justice support, I am ashamed for my comments insensitive and offensive am" - and to some of the tweets, but you can screen for attacks National Review Online found.)
There are more but I will not continue. I hesitated to even share this vile comments, but in the end, I firmly believe in another thing I read that I think it's worth it.
This last quotation is from Salon Mary Elizabeth Williams:
Here's what you do and say if something happens. Like many women around the world, Lara Logan has been in the exercise of their functions under the attack. She was attacked doing their job. It was a crime of unspeakable violence. And you feel like it does the job of the religion of their attacker had to do with several million others, or the color of their hair to do with it.
