CNN reporter Lara Logan in Iraq
For the past few weeks, I’ll admit that I’ve been sitting idly by while the world to the west of me was going crazy. I mean, Cairo is far away and there’s been a lot of really good college basketball to watch.
My first reaction to the protests in Egypt was a fleeting “oh that’s scary,” to “oh that’s really scary,” to “why are they messing with Anderson Cooper,” to “I think Mubarak is somewhere in America,” mostly because I love a conspiracy theory. But when I woke up this morning and read that CBS reporter Lara Logan had been beaten and sexually assaulted while trying to do her job last week, the situation suddenly got very real for me. And now I’m pissed.
