soupsoup:
Lara Logan thought she was going to die in Tahrir Square when she was sexually assaulted by a mob on the night that Hosni Mubarak’s government fell in Cairo.
Lara was remarkably generous with her time this week, even when her two-year-old son occasionally interrupted our phone calls. I wanted to work in a mention of her son, but couldn’t for space reasons.

Even when I’m with them, I’m freaking out inside about how I need to...
