Lara Logan Sex Scandal

CBS reporter Lara Logan is the at the center of a tabloid sex scandal. The New York Post says Logan, aka Laura Logan, “spent her days covering the heat of the Iraq war - but that was nothing compared to the heat of her nights.”Logan is said to have been in a love triangle that involved a US State Department contractor and Michael Ware, a CNN international correspondent.

“The “60 Minutes” reporter and former swimsuit model apparently courted two beaus while she was in Baghdad, and has been labeled a homewrecker for allegedly destroying the marriage of a civilian contractor there, sources said.”This led to a supposed brawl between the two men, but friends of Logan deny there was a fight. News of the scandal broke just after Logan was given the assignment of chief foreign-affairs correspondent in Washington.

Lara Logan was born in Durban, South Africa on March 29, 1971, which makes her age 37. She attended the University of Natal in Durban where she graduated with a degree in commerce. She also has a diploma from the Universite de L’Alliance.

Logan started her career as a reporter with the Sunday Tribune in 1988 in Durban. She then went on to work for the Daily News, also in Durban, from 1990 to 1992. Ten years later, Lara was named a CBS News correspondent and also contributes to “60 Minutes.”“She provided daily reports on the war in Iraq and was the only journalist from an American network in Baghdad when American troops invaded the city, reporting live from Firdos Square as the statue of Saddam fell.”

Unfortunately, her reporting from the frontlines of Afghanistan has taken a back seat to her alleged sexual exploits. This will only fuel her infamous nickname coined by the British tabloids as “34D Lara.” You can see those 34 D’s in a swimsuit here. Logan was previously said to be living in London with her husband, Jason Siemon, a professional basketball player.

Lara Logan Appears on The Daily Show

Jon Stewart's guest tonight was the Chief Foreign Correspondent for CBS News, Lara Logan, who has lived in Baghdad since the beginning of the Iraq War. She has some blunt things to say about the view of the war that manages to filter through to the average American's awareness via the mainstream media, that Americans need to see the dead bodies of American soldiers (and Iraqi civilians) in order to understand the situation there. We need to see and understand the resurgence of the Taliban — including breaking 400 of their top fighters out of prison just this weekend.

I'll put it to you this way: no matter how brave, dedicated, and well-trained our military forces are, they can never win a war without the support and involvement of the entire country. We will never see an end to the war on terror as long as the American people don't care what happens "over there" wherever our troops are at the time, nor as long as so much of the world thinks we're more of a threat to peace and stability than Al Qaeda and the Taliban and and the Tamil Tigers and ETA combined.
