By Ben Barrack In CBS News’ Summary of Findings against Lara Logan and her producer Max McClellan, Executive Director of Standards and Practices Al Ortiz took issue with a rather irrefutable charge made by Logan in the now “discredited” 60 Minutes report on Benghazi which aired on October 27th.

Heinous Treatment of Lara Logan… Again
CBS 60 Minutes reporter Lara Logan is taking a leave of absence for her work on a piece about Benghazi. This treatment of her is a disgrace on multiple levels. Before we get to that, consider some recent history. Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak ultimately stepped down as a result of Barack Obama’s support for the ‘Arab […]
Benghazi Question Lara Logan’s apology does not answer
60 Minutes’ Lara Logan appeared on CBS This Morning today to inform viewers that the program would be issuing a formal apology during its November 10th broadcast. The apology will be about relying on a British security contractor’s account of events on the ground in Benghazi on 9/11/12. The contractor – Dylan Davies – went […]
Was British Soldier told to Stand Down in Benghazi?
When we chimed in on Lara Logan’s 60 Minutes piece on Benghazi, what caught our attention was a glaring discrepancy between a claim made by Logan and a diametrically opposing claim by the Accountability Review Board (ARB). Logan reported that CIA Annex personnel “ignored orders to wait” while the ARB said “the Annex team was […]
Who’s the Liar, Lara Logan or Obama?

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) quoted one sentence […]
CBS’ 60 Minutes avoids Egyptian Connection to Benghazi
The 60 Minutes piece by Lara Logan on the Benghazi attacks was well done. It included excerpts of interviews with State Department whistleblower Gregory Hicks, Lt. Col. Andrew Wood, and a British security official who was in charge of the Libyans who were hired to provide security, Libyans he didn’t seem impressed by. Here’s the […]
Report: Party of Egypt’s president paying gangs to ‘Rape women’
Uh, didn’t we just get done posting about how Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a problem with Israel building homes in its capital but has no comment on Egypt’s draft constitution, which opens the door for slavery and the further subjugation of women? Yes, but this is a much related – yet separate – […]
CBS News’ Lara Logan plays the Baghdad Bob card on White House
If there’s anyone who has seen the evil face of the Arab Spring up close, it’s Lara Logan, the CBS news reporter who suffered a vicious sexual assault at Tahrir Square last year. At a luncheon in Chicago, she basically called the Obama administration out as liars when it comes to the Afghanistan narrative. Via […]
Mob Logic in Egypt: Angry at Mubarak’s sentence? Sexually Assault innocent women
Last year, after Mubarak fell, Egyptians celebrated in Tahrir Square. A mob of approximately 200 nearly killed CBS Reporter Lara Logan during a sustained and violent sexual assault; her assailants apparently justified their actions by mentally transforming her into a Jew. It appears that such attacks are now on the rise in Egypt. The reason? […]
