'60 Minutes' Benghazi Report: Lara Logan Says 'We Were Wrong'
Lara Logan apologized for an erroneous 60 Minutes report about the events at the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012. “We made a mistake,” she said on CBS This Morning Friday.
Was CBS irresponsible for allowing Lara Logan to be sexually assaulted for political reasons?
Like sure they would have got her to sign a waiver to say they were not liable if she was injured or raped when covering news stories but to allow a pretty white blond girl to cover a story in a very bad political situation?? Was this a really smart thing to do?
Or was there a more sinister plot by political circles using the media to allow a pretty girl to be raped to enrage peoples opinions about Muslims?
Answer: Personaly, I don't think a woman should be going to any muslim country. I also do not think it should be turned around and say it was intentional so people would be mad at muslims. The men have made a choice of what they will do to women and children (let us be honest it isn't just Lara they are doing this to). Can't blame CBS or the American government for that.

Why wasnt Lara Logan wearing a scarf and long dress in Egypt where she was raped?
Women should always at least wear a scarf and long dress in the mideast. And from my experiences in the middle east, it is almost suicidal for a young beautiful blonde woman to not dress accordingly. Was she asking for it?
Answer: (1) Lara Logan was not raped
(2) Lara Logan didn't have to wear a scarf and a long dress because many Egyptian women do not and there is no particular dress code for women in Egypt
(3) It is recommended that women wear decently in Egypt. This is not because of fear that they be raped but out of respect of Egyptian culture
(4) Lara Logan has covered the revolution in Egypt which lasted 18 days in Egypt and nothing happened to her (she was arrested but that was for being a reporter and not for being a woman)
(5) No, she was not asking for it and she is in no way responsible of what happened to her
(6) Lara Logan was just in the wrong place at the wrong time: She was in Tahrir square which was packed with people celebrating after Mubarak resigned (hundreds of thousands and probably over a million) and she had the misfortune of coming in the way of some low life criminals who sexually harassed her but no one raped her

Did the Steubenville rapists sexually ABUSE the girl?
Abuse as in being violent.
To be honest, I dont think teenagers should go to jail, I think they should have gotten a penalty. I didnt find this rape serious because it wasnt like it was a violent rape(Ex: Lara Logans rape in Egypt). I feel sorry for the girl. I dont blame her at all, because it wasnt her fault. What do you think?
Answer: Rape is rape and has horrendous affects on the victim no matter how violent or not it was. They should go to jail. I suffered sexual abuse as a child and I wasn't 'raped' it has effected my entire life and changed who I am.
Should the person who did it to me get a minimum sentence because there was no violence? because there was no penetration? even though I suffered for over 20 yrs with this and still have issues?
You are telling the victim that they should be fine and get over it because it wasn't serious enough for you. That the perpetrator should be given mercy because What they did doesn't fit a narrow definition of what constitutes a "serious" sexual crime.
If someone takes advantage of someone sexually in any way they are scum and deserve what they get.

How much money will CBS have to pay Lara Logan for being raped in Egypt?
Since they sent her into a dangerous situation. Can she sue them for not providing a safe workplace?
Answer: CBS would have no liability here. CBS would, I'm sure, do the decent thing and make sure she got the best medical attention and counselling to help her recover but they would not be legally required to do so. However she probably has all this stuff well covered in her contract. What happened to her is just a risk you take in that kind of work. It's just like a truck driver could get injured in a highway crash through no fault of his employer or himself.

Was the attack on Lara Logan a Muslim hate crime?
Lara Logan, chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News, suffered a prolonged sexual attack by up to 200 Egyptian men in Tahrir Square, Cairo, during the celebrations after the resignation of Hosni Mubarak. After stripping her naked and then molesting and beating her, the men kept shouting, "Jew, Jew!" Logan is not Jewish. Was this a hate crime?
Answer: I don't know anything about "hate crimes" as such with regard to social or legal constructs. I just know that any crime against another is ultimately a crime against God. An act of hatred? For sure. A violation of natural law? Indeed. A violation of civil law and common decency? Yes, yes, of course. But this sort of violence and the ideology that drives it is not merely barbaric, it's flat-out evil. Social or legal constructs explain nothing here.
Ya know, I've been to the Middle East, visited Egypt as well. This vile hatred is far more pervasive in the Islamic world than the PC talk of Western politicians would suggest. Islam is a demonic religion at war with God. Those who cry “Peace, Peace!” are deluding themselves. There is no peace with Islam. Hatred. Subjugation. Domination. Barbarity. Islam. These terms are interchangeable.

What is not being reported about Lara Logan?
Why is the media rarely mentioning that the mob that attacked her was screaming "Jew! Jew! Jew!". What is the liberal or mainstream media afraid of having to deal with in this story?
Answer: CBS fears backlashes---but they're fretting over the WRONG ones, being the racial issues between Muslims and Jews. THAT explains the shameless low tone CBS is treating the Lara Logan matter.
And it's understandably pissing off FEMALE news staff at CBS---and the growing anger is fast sweeping across other major U.S. based news media networks!! CBS top news anchor Katie Couric is HIGHLY UPSET at CBS' quiet handling of the Logan matter. It's felt that CBS AND the White House should aggressively go after Egypt to arrest and convict the men who savagely sexually assaulted Lara Logan--and nearly raped her.
Indeed, it's a given that U.S. news journalists assigned overseas face dire risks in their profession: Many have been severely hurt---even shot dead, while pursuing a story to keep the global public TRULY informed on world issues.
And it's also understood that in the Mid-East, women are treated like mindless cattle; they're NOT given the same rights / freedoms women in the U.S. today have. Lifestyles of today's U.S. women is a matter that OFFENDS men in the Mid-East---and a reason why they take up terrorist causes against the United States AND it's allies, like it's any of their business.
But NO American woman should EVER be harmed in the way Lara Logan found herself to face on foreign soil; Egypt is supposed to be a U.S. ally.....and Logan's employer, CBS should publicly show FAR MORE support for her AND take a very LOUD stand in calling for the justice due her.
The silence from CBS and the White House, to CBS female staff---is a clear sign of weakness that CONDONES what those men in Egypt did to Lara Logan; that silence is about to shatter from the protests of U.S. female news journalists---and again: It's about to soon come to a head.

If they had so much bias, why didnt they vet this source better.
Answer: Well, they DID vet the source but as the story goes on to explain his story started to fall apart later on.
and in the world of instant news, when everyone wants to know what is going on and they want to know it NOW, before the incident has even concluded, it's a wonder they were even able to vet him as much as they did. I blame societies insatiable desire for instant news more then the agency providing it.

Why arent Lara Logans bosses help responsible for her sexual assault?
Earlier this year the beautiful journalist Lara Logan was beaten and sexually assaulted while covering a story in Egypt! Why werent her bosses held responsible?? Why on earth did they send a beautiful blond woman to a Muslim country to be surrounded by men? Her bosses wanted to tantalize and tease those men! They used Lara Logan as an experiment! Why are not they held responsible and why isnt Lara Logan suing them and making them accountable? They know what they were doing!!
Answer: I agree with you that it was somebody's bad judgment that placed Lara Logan in the amidst of a civil revolution, but we do not know all the circumstances leading up to her covering/reporting on the chaotic street rioting and civil revolt in Cairo.
It is a news reporter's job (sometimes dangerous) to report directly from the scenes/settings of news stories. Logan could have asked for this assignment or her boss could have assigned her to this location. With feminists demanding that women be given the same kinds of jobs as men and women like Logan under pressure to take jobs/assignments traditionally done by men only (e.g., reporting from war scenes), we end up with the "situation" that Logan got into because of our gender-neutral policies in the workplace.

Why would a news agency send another woman into a riot zone where one was previously s3xually assaulted?
Back in Feb 2011, Lara Logan, a CBS news correspondent was violently assaulted while covering the Egyptian revolution which ousted their president. Now, CBS has sent another woman, Clarissa Ward, into nearly the same environment. Even if they have extra security people, it is still thousands of protesters/rioters who have already clashed with the military. Why send another woman to almost the exact SAME environment? As a side note, both of the women are blonde Caucasians which sort of makes them even more obvious looking than the other native women around.
Answer: Because it's the media. They want more drama to write about. They know it's unsafe for women to go there, especially western women, and they still send them there, knowing what could happen to them.
Were I in charge of the department that sends these reporters out in the field over there, knowing what happened to the other woman, I would overlook this woman's pleas for me to let her go there by sending a guy instead. Just for safety's sake.

Why did the media place that female reporter in danger where she was beaten and raped by the peaceful Muslims.?
CBS reporter Lara Logan was beaten and raped in the streets during the celebration in Egypt. Why do newspapers and TV networks keep doing this. Hasnt there been enough reporters killed already?
At least Obama calls them peaceful.
I have had Muslim friends also. I only called them peaceful because that is what Obama called the celebration.
Answer: My question to would be:
After being harassed on several occasions while she was trying to film the protests with her crew--then allegedly arrested and held in detention and was ordered to leave Egypt, which they did.
Why did she and her crew return knowing they were targeted ? Knowing the dangers which were involved if they returned?
