News Babe's 'Iraqi Tryst' (Free Republic credited for breaking story in Dec)
New York Post ^ | 6-26-08 | Todd Venezia

Sexy CBS siren Lara Logan spent her days covering the heat of the Iraq war - but that was nothing compared to the heat of her nights.

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.

Passions got so hot in the combat zone that one of her lovers, Joe Burkett, brawled in a Baghdad "safe house" with her other paramour, CNN war reporter Michael Ware, a source said.

The wife of Burkett, a US Embassy worker, claims the sultry 37-year-old correspondent seduced him while bullets flew overhead.

Burkett's wife, Kimberly, also accuses Logan of teaming up with him to take her 3-year-old daughter away, according to the source.

A close pal of Logan, who confirmed the allegations to The Post, said Burkett's marriage to Kimberly was already finished six months before they sparked up a relationship.

As for the other claims, pals admitted that Logan had a one-time fling with CNN reporter Ware - but denied that there was any sort of fight between him and Burkett in Baghdad.

Tale of the love fight first broke on the freerepublic.com in December.

The scandal comes just as the former model's journalistic career is starting to skyrocket.

It's a stunning turn of events for the respected journalist, who once told The Washington Post that she "has no social life."

Yesterday, CBS announced, without a hint of irony, that she was given a new Washington assignment as chief foreign-affairs correspondent. She joined the network in 2002 and became a "60 Minutes" correspondent in 2006.

The network touted her as the only American reporter who was in Baghdad when the United States invaded in 2003.

“Chief foreign-affairs”... snort. She’s got the experience...

Wow — I searched using “tryst”, using tryst plus two different words, one at a time, out of the title, and all searches returned nothing.

How come “60 Minutes” and someone with the name of “Burkett” seem to connect so often?

I must have the only computer in FRdom that works. ;)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;q=quick;s=tryst

Pick the uncommon word, then choose "Titles" in the dropdown. I think that's what confuses people. Titles should be renamed Headlines, and Keywords should be renamed Search Terms.

How long do you think it will take before she’s doing a pictorial for Playboy?

The only difference is that the latter is a respectable profession.

I'm glad this twit is finally getting her comeuppance.

I'm still ticked off at her snarky remarks about Laura Ingraham, which were probably born out of jealousy at a person who has an IQ higher than a cumquat.
