Meet Lara Logan, a naughty CBS war correspondent who is at the center of a Baghdad sex scandal. Read all about it, see her biography, photos and a video of her below.
Just when you can’t quite figure out why CBS war correspondent Lara Logan (aka Laura Logan) seems to always find the most negative stories to report about our military from Iraq, we find out she’s sleeping with half of them. Well, maybe not half of them, but the current rumors surrounding her do give a better understanding of why she enjoys spending her career in Baghdad. The fact that she’s so critical of American military takes on a whole new meaning now that we understand the vantage point from which she may be reporting. We have wanted for so long to have reporters in Baghdad get behind our troops, but not UNDER them!
Its much more understandable now why she couldn’t quite relate to our ‘boots on the ground’ as hers obviously weren’t. It gives an entirely new meaning to journalists being embedded with the troops.
She’s often complained that the American’s wouldn’t give her information to report. She’s said on a number of occasions, bitterly, that the Americans would tell her that reporting certain things would put troops and Iraqis in danger. She uses this as her explanation as to why she reported from the enemy’s perspective. Apparently, even sleeping with the Americans didn’t help her get intel. That had to really hurt.
According to an article in the New York Post, the sultry ‘60-minutes’ reporter and former swimsuit model is in the middle of a naughty sex scandal involving herself and two of her war zone lovers, CNN war reporter Michael Ware and a American civilian contractor Joe Burkett. Burkett’s wife is a US Embassy worker and has accused Logan of destroying the Burkett’s marriage.
The two men were reported to have gotten into a fight in Baghdad. This could explain why Lara never reported on the progress towards peace there, apparently, in her world, there was still plenty of fighting going on. One can only surmise that ‘incoming’ had a very different meaning for her.
Logan claims that the ’safe house brawl’ between her lovers never happened. She also claims that Burkett had already separated from his wife before she became involved with him and Ware was just a one-night stand. Okay. Whatever you say Lara! The world is waiting breathlessly for the Lara Logan sex tape to hit the internet and we will be sure to provide it for you as soon as it shows up. HOOAH!
When I first read this news I assumed that her career would be ending over this. However, there are rumors that she’s received a FABULOUS offer from the 6th Fleet.
Lara Logan Biography

my favorite part is when she says something like,
“i don’t know any journalist that wants to just sit in a hotel room in iraq”
which i guess is true in her case
June 26th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Wow, Beth has outdone the entire journalistic profession with an article so abysmally stupid that one wonders if Beth had to be reminded to breathe. Lara is beautiful yes…one of the most beautiful women in the world. She’s intelligent. And she’s got courage in spades. And then there’s poor ugly stupid cowardly Beth.
The story is an infantile slander cooked up in a pea brain.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Gee, someone courageously shoves the reality of the horrifying Iraq war in America’s face, and shortly after, a year-old smear is published in a Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper. What an amazing coincidence.
The author of this piece doesn’t have 1% of the courage or integrity of Lara. Pathetic.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
” Ferocious_Imbecile ” the nickname says it all !
Just because you don’t like what Beth said doesn’t make it any less true.
Nowhere in a reporters job description does it say “bed-hopping”. As for courage…yeah, sure..doing 2 guys does have ring of *danger* to it. Oh…breaking up a marriage is intelligent?
If you had bothered to look, you would see that Beth is a beautiful lady.
There is zero beauty in being a slut.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
GREAT post! I love all the double entendres! It was hilarious. What a stupid woman – never mix sex and business.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
big deal … so she had sex … with two men, one married … while married herself … in a war zone …
i would do the same …
with her boobs and my sharp tongue i could rule the world!
(i am so close on this one)
June 27th, 2008 at 6:42 am
Oooohhh, a beautiful woman had sex with more than one person. Please conservatives, instruct us how to live our lives as you decry no one should be able to do in the gun thread.
And shes a slut? Nice one. 2-3 different partners over the course of a year is far from a slut. Some people need to go to college or have forgotten how awesome it was. The only people that have a right to call them that are their spouses. Then again 44% of Americans are getting divorced and cheating on their spouses is hardly public domain to question, isnt that right senator McCain?
June 27th, 2008 at 7:05 am
Ed.
I might be wrong, it wont be the first time.
These guys are good enough to screw but when it comes to reporting all the progress they’re making they’re not good enough for that.
I mean if she really wanted to get more game she should putting the progress our troops are making on the front of her stories.
Yea, yea I know. At the end of each segement they never forget those gratuitous and obligatory lines ” but or troops are doing their best”.
Its all BS coming from the liberal dominated MSM that will find every bad story in Iraq they can.
Thankfully due the progress we are making we should be seeing a lot less of this twit who needs to be surrounded by hundreds of sexually depraived men in order to get laid.
June 27th, 2008 at 7:07 am
My apologies Ed.
That last post was meant for Drew. I get you guys mixed up.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Drew, I don’t see where I called her a slut? The only name calling I see here is from all the gallant gentlemen who came riding in to her defense. I’m sure she’ll have plenty of comfort, in this her time of need.
Anyway – I don’t actually care who she sleeps with, where or when. Or how many marriages are destroyed in the process.
What I do care about is that she apparently puts her career above the lives of American soldiers. When American intel officers won’t give her information and explain to her that reporting some things will get ppl killed, she runs al-Qaeda propaganda films and whines that she only did it because the Americans wouldn’t give her the story. Then she flashes her 34Ds and all is forgiven, she gets a raise and promotion and walks away from the damage she’s done.
That’s the problem I have with Ms. Logan. She can sleep with every man, woman and animal in the Middle East for all I care.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:02 am
I’m with Drew. Xerxes army was famous for having a traveling band of hookers to pleasure the troops after battle. Gave them something to live for. As Beth pointed out, the problem with Lara Logan is she is apparently batting for the wrong team. General Petraeus could fix this problem by enslaving her and giving her a medal, which would satisfy Drew.
But Drew, I’ve now concluded that you believe that your actions should never be judged no matter who you hurt, which makes you quite the narcissist. This came across when we discussed liberals killing troops. Now you are at it again inferring that Lara Logan’s actions are fine merely because she is an adult no matter the consequences of her actions. So the fact that there is a devastated wife with small children should be of nobody’s concern except for Lara’s husband? That’s not making sense really, except to a narcissist.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:12 am
Dan, Ferocious_Imbecile, et el … I can’t help but wonder if you would be running to Logan’s defense if she looked like … oh … I don’t know …. Helen Thomas?
I’ve written about what I view to be Helen Thomas’ biased reporting and made viscous fun of her and no one, not one of you, has run to her defense.
It just makes me wonder, is it her reporting you are so eager to defend?
June 27th, 2008 at 8:14 am
You speak of courage. It takes courage to be faithful to one’s spouse and one’s country. And to the truth.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Ferocious_Imbecile – really, is calling me names the best you can do? Not very creative, I must say. Tsk.
abysmally stupid, poor, ugly, cowardly, infantile, pea brained
I hope I didn’t miss any.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:32 am
That is the last resort of the liberal, when they can’t actually argue on the facts they just make of flashy slogans like “Bush lied, children died” or they call you a “rethuglican” . . . get it, it sounds like republican, but they are also calling you a thug, clever eh. Or, the really poor liberals just call you names, usually you can find those folks hanging out at DUmp or KOS.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Beth, the don’t go labeling a slut was directed to Jo’s comments.
MCCAIN, your logic astounds me. I dont know how me saying that expressing disatisfaction with an unjust war directly correlates into “murdering soldiers.” its not that I don’t think my actions have any consequences on anyone, I am merely asserting the me saying”the war sucks and we shouldn’t be over there.” equates to Seargent Tom (my buddy in the army) being so demoralized he loses sleep over it to the point he makes himself fall out of a humvee to his death or walk blindly into gun fire while thinking “hey, that Lara girl has a point, why am I here.”
If he didn’t lose sleep over blasting a whole in the head of 6-10 year olds (to which I saw the gruesome pictures of after his first tour) with his M16 the I highly doubt commentary from idiot bloggers on both sides would affect him either.
And who is to say what is accurate reporting? Sergeant Tom has just so recently as last month told me there has been marginal change, the only time the soldiers he’s been around have been liked by the majority is when they’re giving out free stuff, candy, food, money, etc.
To say the MSM is run by liberals is laughable. Point to one liberal that owns Fox, CBS, NBC, or ABC. Just because the government that wants support for the war peddles something doesnt mean it is true, we should all know that by now.
Here is a riddle, if we are doing so well in Iraq, why when all MSM outlets are run by conservatives is there only on average 2 minutes per night per news station covering the war?
Here is a fun article, a little dated but the point remains.

“To say the MSM is run by liberals is laughable. Point to one liberal that owns Fox, CBS, NBC, or ABC. Just because the government that wants support for the war peddles something doesnt mean it is true, we should all know that by now.”
Laugh all you want.
I didnt say “owned” or “run”. Nice try.
I said dominated. Dominated by reporters with a clear liberal agenda.
The fact is evident when you look at the lack of negative reporting being done in Iraq today due to casualties and confrontations being way lower than they ever have. These guys simply have less to bitch about
And also you guys never fail to mention the right wing ownership at FOX, well then why not mention all the other right winged outlets ?
You cant because they are just not there !
Our media, print and Tv is dominated by liberals. And anyone who thinks otherwise is in la la land or full of denial.
AOL/Time Warner, AT&T Corporation, General Electric, Viacom, Inc., Bertellsmann, Walt Disney, Vivendi Universal, Liberty Media Corporation & Sony have all made considerable donations to democratic candidates that are much greater than what is given to cons by any section of the media. Why is that Drew ?
Why does MSNBC support a hate monger like Olberman ? Why did CBS go to bat for Dan Rather untill it was to late to hide the obvious ?
Why are the OP EDs on most of all our popular newspapers 75% liberal and the reast Con ?
So please, stop trying to tell me the moon is made out of cheese when we’ve all been there and know differently
June 27th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Fascinating Drew. Your make believe buddy in Iraq takes pictures of dead children that he killed so that he can share with friends? Kudos for invoking a creative writing device, but normally on a blog you don’t hide behind imaginary Sargent Toms when presenting your views.
Who said the MSM was “run” by liberals. It is managed and staffed by liberals which shapes the news that is presented. Liberal bias is not in dispute anymore by honest people.
June 27th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
She’s stacked.
June 27th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Drew,
if you have evidence that a soldier was intentionally shooting defenseless children in the head, shouldn’t you call the authorities?
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Beth, you really don’t care who she sleeps with? Really? because from the article I read, you did nothing but talk about her sex life. Saying that she slept with half the military. No wonder why we are still in Iraq if half our military is composed of one reporter and one civilian contractor. Your clearly well thought out sexual innuendos, such as “behind our troops not under” and “embedded with troops”, don’t really make that much sense unless she slept with troops. Unless I am mistaken a reporter and a civilian contractor are not military. But it’s a good thing in your comments you cleared up that who she sleeps with is not the issue,the issue is her putting soldiers’ lives in danger. Usually the main point of an article is emphasized in the article not in the comments a day after. Who cares who she slept with? And why are you just blaming her? Last time I checked a man has to choose to sleep with a woman or cheat on his wife. Wheres the outrage at a husband cheating on his wife? Don’t tell me that your article was written to point out that she is putting lives in danger when you dedicate at least 3/4 of it to accusing her of sleeping around and being a home wrecker.
July 3rd, 2008 at 11:33 pm
I’m sure you’ll shoot back that I wouldn’t defend her if she wasn’t beautiful, but I didn’t even know who she was until I got directed to this article by a friend who wanted to get a laugh. I was pissed about this article way before I got to the bottom where the pictures of Lara were.
In her bio it says she was born South Africa, is she a citizen of the United States? If not what obligation does she have to the United States. Do you feel an obligation to South African troops. You accuse her of reporting the perspective the enemy like it is a bad thing. Isn’t a good reporters duty to objectively look at both sides of a story, instead of blindly swallowing whole the information provided by one side? By the way when was the last time you were in Iraq? Ever been? Whether or not she slept with two whole men in all the time she was in Iraq, it seems to me that her first hand experience actually being in Iraq makes her a more reliable source than lets say….you. But I’m just assuming you haven’t been to Iraq, if you have let me know, I’ll apologize.
I imagine as you’re reading my comments you are thinking I’m just some liberal whine ass who is criticizing your work because you’re on the right and not because your article is terrible. But I’m not a liberal or a conservative. I like to think for myself and not restrict myself to what a group tells me I should think. Or maybe you think I’m unpatriotic because I don’t agree that our soldiers should be in Iraq or because I tend to agree with Lara Logan that there isn’t that much positive coming out of Iraq. But I am patriotic, I am just disappointed in our country. That doesn’t mean I don’t love our country, anymore than a parent being disappointed in their child doesn’t mean that they no longer love their child. I just feel that right wing nuts such as yourself and Bush have hijacked this country and brainwashed people into thinking that unless they love the country in exactly the same way that you do, they don’t love the country.
Is it because Lara Logan is on a well respected news show like 60 Minutes that makes you jealous of her? Or is it that she is a good looking women? Or a combination? Don’t feel so bad I’m sure a lot people who aren’t able to make it on television news would be really happy reporting on such an objective, well respected psuedo-news website such as this. Well done!!!!!

All I can say is that shes not that well respected anymore now, is she ?
Also, this website does not pretend to be anything its not.
This website also has a strange habit of letting us in on the good news coming out of Iraq.
July 4th, 2008 at 8:03 am
Micky, first of all I never said she was that well respected. I don’t know if she is or not, as I said before I didn’t even know who she was before I read this story, I said she was on a well respected news show. Since when does having sex make a journalist less respectable?
Earlier you said “These guys are good enough to screw but when it comes to reporting all the progress they’re making they’re not good enough for that.” You obviously read the article, maybe you could show me where in there she is actually accused of sleeping with a soldier. I mean I know every other sentence insinuates that she is sleeping with the troops, but I never see one instance of actual accusation just cowardly back handed innuendo. Then I would like you to explain to me the progress that is being made in Iraq. and by the way the gratuitous and obligatory lines â€? but or troops are doing their bestâ€?, which I’m sick of also, is only said because right wing douchebags like you and Beth have made it necessary. Because at first anytime anyone said anything negative about the so called “War on Terror” it was spun around so that they were unpatriotic traitors who hated the troops.
Also did you really say that Lara Logan could only get laid by being around hundreds of sexually depraived soldiers. First of all are you calling the troops sexually depraved? Secondly I doubt Lara has a hard time finding a date no matter where she. That is unless she’s around a bunch of right wingers who claim to hate homosexuals, just to mask their homo erotic desires.
July 4th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Yea well rich I don’t play games or semantic juggling acts. If she was part of a so called respected program like 60 minutes then she takes credit for gaining some of that supposed respect. And so my respect for her and the show have come down another notch to the sub terranian level.
” is only said because right wing douchebags like you and Beth have made it necessary.”
O.K. a$$hole, now you’re calling Beth and I names when no one has given you reason to do that other than the fact that we don’t think much of Lara.
It only seems like fair play that since she cant find the integrity to mention a good story once in a while in support of the great work our guys are doing we should only throw a little garbage her way also.
She deserves it simply because she’s a hack with boobs that sells cheap news which is usually filled with all the doom and gloom aspects of any war.
Her hooking up with Michael Ware makes sense because besides the sex what they both also have in common is that they report more stories that cast a bad light on the troops efforts and our administration than most moonbat reporters I’ve seen.
Fricking Michael Ware always looks like he’s ready to bust out crying no matter what the story is
“Then I would like you to explain to me the progress that is being made in Iraq.”
Here ya go bub. This is a list just from 2006 alone.
And of course every year to follow has had its equal amount of success stories to tell
And then of course we cant forget this years surge which has been so successful that it leaves ambulance chasers like Lara little to do lately.
Go to the link, there’s more than this list, as it is constantly updated.

“and by the way the gratuitous and obligatory lines â€? but or troops are doing their bestâ€?, which I’m sick of also, is only said because right wing douchebags like you and Beth have made it necessary. Because at first anytime anyone said anything negative about the so called “War on Terrorâ€? it was spun around so that they were unpatriotic traitors who hated the troops.”
The difference is that the guys on the right actually mean it when they say it. As opposed to the self conflicting hypocritical crap that comes from the left.
“I don’t think what you’re doing is right.
Its an unjust war.
You are taking orders from a murderer.
Its an illegal war.
The war has been lost.
You cant win.
Its a stupid war.
Its an immoral war.”
BUT HEY GUYS!!! WE SUPPORT YOU !!!
“First of all are you calling the troops sexually depraved? ”
That should of been “deprived”
Use your head. Why would I say that about these guys when its obvious that I am very proud of our troops.
Besides that its not like there’s a lot of prime pussy running around Baghdad unless you like taking your chances on what’s behind burkha #3.
“That is unless she’s around a bunch of right wingers who claim to hate homosexuals, just to mask their homo erotic desires.”
Sounds like you’re dangerously close to calling all of our troops lying insecure homosexuals.
Since you came flying out of the gate calling me and Beth douchbags this will be the end of our conversation.
I only responded in order to make you look more like the fool that you are.
And I’m sure that you can take over for me from here and do just fine all by your little self.
