As a fan of the CBS foreign correspondent Lara Logan, I (like many others around the World), was horrified to read of the alleged attack on her in Tahrir Square, Egypt back in February. After hearing the official CBS statement - I, like so many others sought to find out more and understand exactly 'what' seemingly went so badly wrong on that night. I wanted to find out exactly what happened to Lara Logan - and importantly, learn about her welfare and how she is doing since.
Whatever did happen to Lara - it's important that the world must now respect her privacy and dignity.
HOWEVER, I personally find it very irresponsible of CBS to release a statement about 'sustained beating' and 'sexual assault', without giving ANY further updates whatsoever.
I believe that CBS are guilty of fuelling the mass of theories that have swamped the internet - as people clamber for 'the truth'. It is BECAUSE of CBS's lack of further information - that the wild claims have emerged.
I live in the UK. Just imagine the fallout, if tomorrow, a UK newspaper printed the headline, 'Cheryl Cole subjected to serious sex attack' - and then said 'no further updates will be given'...leading to a complete media blackout! There would be an outcry for more news!
Lara Logan is a fantastically talented, courageous journalist (not to mention incredibly beautiful). She has conducted some deeply touching and sole-searching interviews on wounded soldiers in combat. She has no problem in asking tough questions. It's time now - that a representive of Lara Logan and/or CBS make a further announcement - to give the public an 'official' version of events.
Until then... I have launched this journalistic online investigation - and welcome ANYONE with any evidence, to contribute.
I will NOT ACCEPT any type of evidence that doesn't carry any credibility. I will gladly accept witness accounts, if accompanied by the witness name and some form of detail.
By all means add photo's, video links and links to other websites - BUT bear in mind, if it's nothing but conjecture, it will be deleted from here.
Can we build a community that can genuinely investigate the Lara Logan incident - and provide answers that CBS can't?
Regards,
