I wonder how Jama Mobarak , the formal Egyptian's presedent's son , feel after hearing this interview because on one of his confrences , he made fun of and laughed deeply in sarcastic way when he was asked about his intentions of meeting or making any kind of dialogue with the youth on the Facebook.
Jamal Mobarak couldnt stop laughing after hearing this question.
The questions is " who has the last laugh ?"

New York Times, February 15, 2011
=====================================
Lara Logan, the CBS News correspondent, was attacked and sexually assaulted by a mob in Cairo on Feb. 11, the day that the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was forced from power, the network said Tuesday.

After the mob surrounded her, Ms. Logan "suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers," the network said in a statement. Ms. Logan is recovering at a hospital in the United States.
=======================================

This is an absolute horrific thing that happened here that should never have. Veteran reporters at 60 minutes seem to be just as smart as the administrators at the Peace Corps whose Bravado and Positivity has mounted to 1000+ Rapes.

One has to ask why is there such a deafening silence about this at the Peace Corps and at 60 minutes, CBS?

If reporters do their job and report on events that occur, perhaps some of those 1000+ rapes in the 3rd world could have been prevented. Just like this one.

Ya All seem to be in the business of intelligence but you all wreak of stupidity. I am not sure how many people in real life will choose to walk into a mob scene so eagerly. Many reporters were harmed in Egypt because of a profound level of stupidity that goes hand in hand in the field.

You people are supposed to know whats going on. But you know very little about what is going on.

A. H. Mubarack was in power because he was annually rewarded for his behavior to the tune of billions per year, pats on the back by 5 US Presidents, armed to the teeth and trained by the CIA/ US military. This was not an overthrow of a dictator. It was an overthrow of a dictation - by the United States. Just ask Ron Paul.

B. YA ALL should not be hurling reporters in harms way. CBS News needs to be sued to be made an example of. Reckless endangerment of your own is unacceptable.

This is an absolute tragedy. It is sickening and most unfortunate.

But more than that - just like a tornado - it was predictable.

Why CBS News lacks remedial level of intelligence is a shock. Shocking, reckless, irresponsible. All the reporters should have been yanked out a long time ago. Where and when they were not the company assumed full liability. Monetary liability. Get a friggin education 60 minutes.

LARA LOGAN Assaulted by 200!

While doing work for 60 minutes. That is absolutely Tragic and most unfortunate.

About as tragic as the 1000+ Rapes in the Peace Corps.
There seems to be a reckless level of lack. Lack in informing 1st world girls with the animal instincts of 3rd world nations.

Especially the MOB. 60 minutes is reckless and unwise.
As unwise as the 1000+ Rapes at the Peace Corps.

Since when does silence = virtue?

60 minutes 60 minutes 60 minutes. You are unwise.
Reckless endangerment of employees. Bold n the Beautiful are prized commodities in the 1st world. But exploitative properties in the 3rd world.

This is a horrible thing that happened, that should not have.
3rd world vs. 1st world
do some homework.

for all of those who thought and still think Wael is a traitor:
little do you know..
This guy right here.. is the reason why egyptians NOW and only NOW feel they live for a reason. Everything changed if you read news, the whole system and all the corrupted ends been eleminated, income is increasing, hate and rage desputed.. even Egyptains abroad walking around with pride and dignity, ever seen a nation cleaning up after their revolution?? ONLY NOW do egyptians feel that they own thier country.. and they want to keep it this way for good.. this was more of a domestic war, and every war between a good end and another evil, but the good were ready to face anything, from joining the revolution behind their parents back to being shot dead, and those who made it after a shot.. still went to the hospital, askin their brothers in arms not to tell their parents about it.. THEY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING.. and guess what >> THEY DID IT!
Stop just standing their and pointing at people because of what they got.. point at them for what they can do with what they got.. and it was never about Wael, although he was an activist, and although we needed a push to move.. we needed a wake up call. so look up a 6 months pregnant lady in the middle of the square, screaming her heart out "kill me and my unborn child for Egypt to live"... she was not a traitor.. 3 millions in the square were not traitors.. 2 millions in Alex. were not traitors.. im here in UAE too btw, i dont know wael personally and i wish i was one of the mrtyres back at that square or atleast standing there, but i can tell you this much, im not a traitor.. Just wait, and witness Egypt in 5 years from today.. TIME WILL PROVE YOU WRONG..!

Pretty nice piece 60 Minutes.
A little something you missed Bright Bulb:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9D7W7rD1R0
(Mubarak is a US created Frankenstein)


(VIDEO INTERVIEW) US Congressman Ron Paul on Egypt/ Mubarak:


(EGYPT ) "This is Our 30 Year mistake"
"This mess happened because of our foreign policy"

"We had a lot to do with Mubarak being in power and staying in power"
"He is our puppet dictator"

"He does what we tell him" (Congressman Ron Paul)


SO: Toppling over Mubarack was in fact toppling over US puppet.
Ya'all @60 minutes are SO brilliant.
