Lara Logan Assault - Rape : The CBS corespondent was raped during what should have been a night of celebration, but instead Lara Logan was viciously assaulted on February 11th.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," according to the statement. "It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy." She is now safely back in the states and is recuperating in the hospital. This was a horrible attack, one that she and no one deserves, but some sites are implying that just because she happened to be blond and attractive, that this scenario was not just occupational hazard of being pretty but that this kind of attack was inevitable.
On February 3rd, after news that Lara Logan had been detained in Egypt, The Mofo Politics blog said, “OMG if I were her captors and there were no sanctions for doing so? I would totally rape her.”
Why, just because Lara Logan is attractive does it make the act of brutal assault justifiable?
