Uh, didn’t we just get done posting about how Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a problem with Israel building homes in its capital but has no comment on Egypt’s draft constitution, which opens the door for slavery and the further subjugation of women? Yes, but this is a much related – yet separate – topic.

Egypt’s ruling party is paying gangs of thugs to sexually assault women protesting in Cairo’s Tahrir Square against President Mohamed Morsi, activists said.

They also said the Muslim Brotherhood is paying gangs to beat up men who are taking part in the latest round of protests, which followed a decree by President Morsi to give himself sweeping new powers.

It comes as the Muslim Brotherhood co-ordinated a demonstration today in support of President Mohamed Morsi, who is rushing through a constitution to try to defuse opposition fury over his newly expanded powers.

Of course, American journalist Lara Logan knows about sexual assaults in Tahrir Square first-hand. Perhaps Israel building homes in Jerusalem is worse.

We encourage you to watch this interview from April of 2011, in which Logan broke her silence:
