TIME is reporting that CBS News correspondent Lara Logan has been detained by Egyptian police outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo. According to TIME, CBS News has refused to comment in any way on the report for security reasons.

Logan, CBS’s chief foreign affairs correspondent, has been in Egypt since January 31 and noted–along with other American journalists–a dramatic change in tone Wednesday, telling CBS viewers: “The army just shifted dramatically to a much more aggressive posture, and they have absolutely prevented us from filming anywhere today, and in fact when our crew went out to film beauty shots early this morning, with no idea that the situation was now different, they were confronted by soldiers and plainclothes agents. They were armed, they were intimidated and bullied and in fact marched at gunpoint through the streets all the way back to our hotel.”

Logan described it as “a very frightening experience and one that was repeated throughout the day for us.”

Watch Logan’s report here, from CBS News:

This is terrifying. Just yesterday morning they were talking about how these pro-government forces came out nowhere and there were hardly any of them. Now, it’s chaos.

I wonder where this commentary was during the discussions of the Fox News, ABC, and CNN correspondence were attacked, kidnapped, or harassed by the Mubarek government? I’m actually going to take your quotes to the
Paltok thread and use them. It’d be interesting to see what happens.

She’s OK is the thing. She’s healthy, she’s free, she’s filing reports. And she’s godawful hot. People are going to talk about that, because it’s unmissable. Yes, it sucks what happened here but she’s fine and she’s been in far worse places. Lighten up.

BTW, for the record, she’s got great big balls too. The woman is fearless.
