Lara Logan, CBS' News Chief War Correspondent, is without a doubt the sexiest war correspondent in the history of war coverage. Logan, who spends much of her time in Iraq and Afghanistan, is a brilliant journalist and a take no prisoners interviewer.
In this VIDEO, Lara Logan describes what it is like to be a war correspondent and what hardships she has had to endure.
In another video (not seen here), Logan criticized the mainstream news media for not providing Americans with coverage of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not one to let people in the newsrooms back in New York push her around, Logan has seen it all during her assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan and she is quick to let editors know they are short-changing the American public by not allowing videos she and other war correspondents have made of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to be aired by the mainstream media in the United States.
