What is Behind the Real Lara Logan Story?
What is the real story on the "beating and sexual assault" on CBS senior correspondent Lara Logan in Egypt last week? CBS said four days after the attack that she was beaten and assaulted for 20-30 minutes by a mob of 200 people. No one could survive a 20-30 minute beating by a mob of 200. A person "familiar with the matter" said it was not a rape. So what was it?
This whole story is fishy. Why did CBS sit on the story for four days? Private citizens can expect privacy but what about famous foreign correspondents, who willingly cover dangerous situations, whose network releases part of a story for ratings? If Lara wasn't raped, what happened? Groping? Fellatio? Cunninglus? What?
Are we supposed to hate Egyptian muslim men, respect Egyptian soldiers and women or honor heroic Lara for putting herself in harm's way for reporting the story? Is CBS trying sending a message that they alone are capable of providing the coverage of tough stories?
This entire story is odd. There is a meaning beyond Lara's suffering to get us the news. We need to know the real story.
