To all my brothers and sisters in Egypt. You are so brave to stand tall and demonstrate peacefully the best you can.

I'm thinking of you all as you journey to changing your country for the better.  Brave Souls and Hearts I send peace and courage your way.  Do not lose hope....for hope is always eternal......stand tall stand tall.

Yes, I am always glad to see a dictator forced to leave. Usually though, some new horrible person takes control.

Maybe not the ones who ravaged Lara Logan.
I am sickened by this. She reported in Iraq and Afghanistan without incident only to be raped by Egyptions thinking her a Jew.
I wish her well in recovery.

Yes, I heard about Lara Logan also. Terrible. I wonder if psychologically she will ever recover? I've been thinking about her a lot since this happened to her.

Actually I watched her on the Charlie Rose show (via satellite, her in Egypt)which I watch a few times a week in the evening..it was about a week before this happened to her. I found her incredibly intelligent, informative and poised...cool as a cucumber. Charlie brought up how she had been reporting "from the grounds" in Iraq and Afghanistan for many years and he thanked her for "all your courage" for "doing such a great job all these years"..she thanked him. And then just a week or so later I heard the horrible news. I had often wondered if her being on the Charlie Rose show she was seen via satellite over in the middle east and if it might have instigated anything that happened to her? I so hope not! I also heard it was the "hired thugs" that had done this to her...and some women got her out of the danger...don't know all the details, but strange you mentioned her Goatman as I often think of her and wish to see her on tv somewhere or hear her say "I'm going to be okay"...it would make me feel better...even though she is a stranger to me, as a woman reporter I had the upmost respect and high regard for her.

She was one of the reporters on "60 Minutes" but they seem not to mention her during the broadcast.

I watched her reports for years from Iraq and Afghanistan amazed at her bravery.
