In a society, you will always find a group that will benefit from certain individual liberties. No? The question is, however, do you prefer mob mentality over individual liberties?

JERUSALEM (AP) — The sexual assault on CBS correspondent Lara Logan in Egypt has trained a spotlight on the danger – ever-present but little-discussed – facing female journalists in zones of upheaval.
Complicating matters, some say, is a fear that employers will shut them out of choice assignments if they draw attention to the problem.
Female journalists say the threat of sexual violence is commonplace in the world’s trouble spots, where the combination of conflict and conservative cultural norms often creates a tense and unpleasant working environment. Trouble can begin with an opportune grope and deteriorate into physical assault or worse......
