Reporter sexually assaulted by jubilant Egyptian mob?

So I guess the peaceful freedom loving Arab freedom fighters celebrating their liberation from America's friend and ally were actually just a dangerous mob of sexual predators.

Of course, the only victim their cheerleaders in the media will tell us about is one of their own.

How many others (not famous, not reporters) were attacked by the mob?

Update -

"60 Minutes" correspondent Lara Logan was repeatedly sexually assaulted by thugs yelling, "Jew! Jew!" as she covered the chaotic fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo's main square Friday, CBS and sources said yesterday.

. . . "Logan was covering the jubilation . . . when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration," CBS said in a statement. "It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy.

"In the crush of the mob, [Logan] was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers.

. . . A network source told The Post that her attackers were screaming, "Jew! Jew!" during the assault. And the day before, Logan had told Esquire.com that Egyptian soldiers hassling her and her crew had accused them of "being Israeli spies." Logan is not Jewish.

I still don't understand why the U.S. effectively backed the Muslim Brotherhood during all this tumult.
