60 Minutes Correspondent Lara Logan Brutally Molested in Egypt, Is Hospitalized

I am Egyptian and I feel shamed for what happened and I want to apologize to her and to the whole world for that shameful event

Article not well-written. Timeline of events is unclear. Was she arrested and "roughed up" by the authorities prior to her run-in with the frenzied crowd? If so -- that is, if she was in Egyptian police custody -- how did she find herself in an unruly crowd? Was she subsequently RELEASED from police custody and then LATER assaulted by the mob? The article doesn't say.

I regret to say that this is not a shining example of expert journalism.

Captain Quirk, I regret to say that either you did not read the entire article or you did not pay attention to it: Ms. Logan was assaulted and beaten up on February 11, after the announcement was made that Mubarak was stepping down. She was rescued and returned to the US the very next morning, on February 12.

Before that, as the article clearly states, she had previous encounters with the authorities, who subjected her and her team to prolonged interrogatories on claims they were working as undercover agents posing as journalists. It’s all right there in the article, almost in the exact same words. That’s the timeline and that’s how it’s presented.

Thank you for your comment.

Dear Elena Gorgan, because what U.S. officials do when you are a non american citizen and you go in U.S. for business. What happens? hmm? What the policeman at the airport do? You probably don't know that they take you and interrogate in small narrow rooms and they keep you there for hours. That is insane. It happened to my relatives, to friends of mine.

We are at the "eye for an eye" here, it is a nonsense. It's a shame. And who cultivated the Eye for an eye? U.S. in last 10 years. With horrendously illegal caimpagn in Iraq Afghanistan and who knows where ... oh yes, Cuba too, Guantanamo bay, and Pakistan...
Well... Obama silently and smoothly is apologizing but it is of course also playing the "Texan" as on May 1st where I really didn't believed at what he stated. It really didn't looked like a speech that a lawyer which Obama is, could pronounce.

I read the article well and read also other articles too and blogs.

I hope Sara will go back with this experience on her back and do better her job, since experiences makes you better, good or bad that they are.
And I really hope for a more listening United States of america in the next weeks month years and decades, learning from it's 200 years of errors and achievements.
I am not anti american or philo american. I just don't like unilateral thinking and narrow mindedness.

Best regards from Italy and thank you for reporting.

Remember that journalism can be called so, only if truth is recounted and not if the news are invented. Every source of information every country everyone of us knows what I am talking about!!

Americans who spread the seed of hate and violence here they are ... what a shame. Sara Logan? Talking like this. And I thought that journalist and actors were the most intelligent and open minded people in the U.S. ...
What a shame.
Why don't they tell the truth about their own affairs. These americans?
Why don't you deepend the circumstances about president illegally elected G.W. Bush and all the lobbies behind him? Why don't you do this? Ah?

You speak about egypt. Now that Egypt has turned its shoulders to U.S. at least apparently, now that Egypt has refused the dictatorship which has been financed by the U.S. themselves, now Logan says these things.

Harrassment happens especially in these turmoils, they are dangeorous places. What do you think, it wouldn't happen in the U.S. or in Italy.
Come on! Wake up people.
