- CoolHandLuke70, on 06/21/2008, -0/+25Lara Logan -- Wow, real journalists STILL exist! I'm thankful!
- dunderballer, on 06/20/2008, -1/+26The treble in her voice and dimness in her eyes speak volumes about the horrors she has seen on a daily basis. For Bush and Cheney to criticize her for not reporting on the war the way they want us to see it is an abomination.
- lazerus9, on 06/21/2008, -0/+22She has that certain something that is missing in all of the other reporters!.....Now let me think!......What is that darn word?........Oh yes!..Now I remember!....That word is INTEGRITY!
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -0/+20I like this woman.
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -0/+17I think that some journalist will begin getting more confident about covering more underground popular issues that mainstream propaganda finds too truthy.
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -0/+16 Truth and honesty are a pair of rare beauties now days in the media.
Dishonesty,corruption of the truth and political lies are sadly the dominant force in the media of the world today.Politics and politicians,a tiny minority of the population of the world we live in today hold the pens of the reporters and journalists.Not allowing honest observation and truth to be told on our television screens or newspapers is their first line of defence against their destruction of our countries and individual identities in their never satisfied lust for power and their unstopable greed.
Lara Logan is what the media should be all about,truth and honesty, and not the lies and fraud that it has become.
Thank god for the internet,when it comes to the news. - onyxcoltrane, on 06/21/2008, -0/+16Great Job Lara. Does anyone know when this interview occurred?
- Omek, on 06/21/2008, -0/+15She's an awesome journalist. It's nice to hear that someone is willing to speak up about the media coverage of Iraq.
- P8triot1, on 06/21/2008, -0/+13Hope she stays healthy and active and inspiring to other journalists.
- Raphae1, on 06/21/2008, -0/+13Compare that to Bill O'Reilly.

He openly admits, that he only wants to cover "good news" out of Iraq. - alapoet, on 06/21/2008, -0/+13She raises the bar for journalists who want to have integrity... Now, let's see if others can take her challenge!
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -1/+14Wow...passionate, articulate, fearless, and beautiful. She rocks.
I like how Judeo-corporate CNN impugns her motives and coverage because she reports on American deaths, murderous militias, and the suffering of the Iraqis, subjects apparently off-limits for ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and the NYT because they challenge the establishment-AIPAC view of the war that we're supposed to accept: That it was in America's interests, and that it's been an unqualified success. - SaraLiberty, on 08/16/2008, -0/+9Lara has more cojones than most men.
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5I think the audio is ***** up.
- Raphae1, on 06/21/2008, -0/+4Here are Lara Logans comments on Bill O'Reilly:

She calls it "completely and utterly ludicrous." - digitalhair, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3and so, according to her statements, there seems to be a pattern of treatment that suggests that journalists are being forcefully prevented from having access to the conflict due to "security" protocols institutionalized by the strategists running this war.
this is eerily similar to Bush and Cheney's worn out use of Executive Priveledge when anyone tries to get them to comply with the Freedom of Information Act...and the judges just line up behind them when these things go to court because they've long since been bought-and-paid-for when anyone not suffering from dementia can see the lack of reason and logic behind the rationale for siding with the White House.
the real story here is that accountability and the rule of law itself has been rendered meaningless thanks to a virulent doctrine of PR spin that has spread from business philosophy to government operations, deliberately causing the breakdown in the application of legal precedent and the integrity of the language behind legality.
*How is it that journalists can be blocked from having access to this war by claims of danger to "security" when the job of reporting from the front lines is inherently dangerous? That's like blocking soldiers from joining the battlefront because it's a risk to their continued "security".
*How is the difference between WORD MEANING and INTENT not recognized by courts that enforce laws constructed upon the foundation of the same LOGIC that their paradoxical conclusions seem to contradict?
Watch what Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia does to Journalism here:

- inactive, on 06/24/2008, -0/+2She reminds me so incredibly much of the character that Marisa Tomei plays in the movie "War, Inc."
- schreinon, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2This is a terrific exchange -- Lara Logan is impressive! And it is so refreshing to witness the integrity and courage of this journalist. When I was a young person, this kind of American journalism was the rule, not the exception. It's so sad that we don't have more Lara Logan's to report to us.
- Ricochetbiscuit, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2Agreed, Lara rocks... plain and simple and what she speaks here is nothing but the sad truth that no one feels it's particularly interesting to report on.
- digitalhair, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1sometime around march 26th, 2006, judging by the date the video was uploaded to youtube
- Iztikeit, on 06/22/2008, -1/+1LOL it is.....treble....LOL....What is she, a banshee?
