Does it matter?

Are you suggesting that he should have tried to take on an angry mob. That's just foolish. He needed to get out of there as quickly and calmly as possible.

I totally agree. They were looking for someone to fight with and he was the closest American they could find.

I love anderson, but i really did not see anything here. looked like jostling to me and you would expect that in a riot. brave of him and his crew to be there, it is not the first time he has put himself in danger.

Watch the video; you can clearly see him getting punched and a guy coming at them with a knife.

Anderson and Ben Wedeman has unequivocally stated that its the Mubarak supporters started the violence and the were allowed to pass thru the security forced with no objection.

It would be cool if CNN offered rewards for information leading the arrest of these thugs.  You've got the pictures.  It's a small world.

I think Anderson Cooper should know how to "blend in" with the crowd, a madhouse crowd. Dye the hair black, glue a carpet-like beard and wear contacts that are black colored. And yeah, speak Arabic.

jd that is so un-pc I nearly spit my coffee onto the keyboard.

But you know what, even that might not have averted an attack. It's a mob, and they're mad.

He thought he was on the ice at a hockey game!

Any bones broken? Any ligaments torn? Any joints dislocated? Any internal bleeding? Any organ failure?

If no, then next! It's not even worth mentioning with the gravity of what is taking place.

I'm NOT a tough guy. But, more has happened to people in bars across America on a Friday night. It appears that the media is trying to add to the "legend" of AC360. If anything, the story for ac360 should have been "HE ONLY GOT PUNCHED IN THE HEAD"

riots in the street, civil unrest, people beaten and killed...Anderson Cooper tells what its like to be punched in the head.
