Lara Logan in Her Own Words

  Be the first of your friends to like this.Excerpt: I just watched Lara Logan on CBS's Sixty Minutes. She was blonde, beautiful, brave, tearful, soft-spoken, strong, clear, eloquent, still obviously traumatized (who wouldn't be?) — and yet, although she has been praised for "breaking the silence" about the sexual violence that afflicts female or foreign journalists in the field, Logan was still careful not to use the words "Muslim" or "Islam." She still refused to characterize what happened to her as "barbaric." In her own words: She said that two to three hundred pairs of hands, one after the other, grabbed at her breasts, crotch and behind, and kept raping her non-stop from the back and the front. The mob had torn off all her clothing and the more she screamed the more excited they became. When someone yelled that she was an "Israeli, a Jew," the frenzied mob turned murderous. They continued to beat her with flagpoles and sticks. They tried to tear her apart, limb from limb. They were tearing her muscles in every direction. They tried to tear her scalp off her skull. They were inside her everywhere. She believed that not only was she going to die but that she would die a long, slow, torturous death. Read the complete original version of this item... | ||||||
