Much has been said about peaceful demonstration and the Egyptian people just wanting to be free. Perhaps we need to re-examine how peaceful the revolt really was. The Cairo Museum was broken in to and artifacts from antiquity were damaged or stolen. There were hundreds of deaths. Supposedly nice people were hurling stones. Anderson Cooper and Fox News crew Greg Palkot and Olaf Wiig were beaten up pretty badly. And on Friday, as it was all supposedly coming to an end, the Huffington Post reported:
On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a 60 MINUTES story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.
