CBS news hottie Lara Logan could be in hot water for swiping souvenirs from the wreckage of bombed-out Baghdad.
In a video profile of the "60 Minutes" star called "Lara Logan's Spoils of War," mementos from Iraq and Afghanistan are shown in her Washington office.
"The prize pieces are . . . pre-Iraq invasion portraits of Saddam Hussein. In one [he's] shown in military fatigues. Logan told us she found it in pieces, in the ruins of the Olympic committee building after it was bombed," reports Marisa Guthrie of Broadcasting & Cable, the media industry publication that produced the online piece.
"A second portrait recovered from the ruins of a shelled palace in Baghdad shows a paternal Saddam surrounded by a group of adoring children, Hovering above the scene is the disembodied head of a stern-looking elderly woman . . . which Logan says is Saddam's mother."
Taking such items out of the country is considered theft under a federal provision designed to protect Iraqi heritage. One former Fox News engineer has already been prosecuted and placed on probation for smuggling paintings from Iraqi palaces. Other journos have been warned.

We’ve gotta remember that laws only apply to conservatives. Were it otherwise, Teddy K, Rangel, and Frankfurter would be in jail.
An article cannot be about a “hottie” and not have pics. What gives?
I thought CBS had a corporate exemption from the Rules & Reglations & Laws that apply to joe six-pack. /sarc
Logan, a former swimsuit model who is CBS' chief foreign affairs correspondent, made headlines this year when a CNN reporter and a US defense contractor in Iraq got into a brawl over her. The contractor impregnated Logan, who is due to give birth in January.
She has such a sterling character, I just can't believe that you would ever do anything wrong.
Not Guilty.
Lara Logan—the Bimbo of Baghdad.
Very guilty but deserving of full pardon.
Lara Logan will resort to doing what she does best... spreading them legs thinking this little issue will blow away... problem is this will not just blow away like the Iraqi sands.
Prior to the twentieth cehtury, “liberating” spoils was part of war.
Wrong, she needs to be charged, tried and lose her job too. All that crap screeching about museums being looted while our men were fighting in the streets of Baghdad, as if I gave a damned about some clay figurines over the lives of our soldiers, and she gets a pass? No thanks, time to pay the price.
I’m sick of the double standard, make an example of her.
The things you can find on the ground when you’re being broken down like a shotgun in a bombed-out palace...
Being a RAT she gets a free pass just as Webb and his buddy got for carrying an unlicesned gun in the capitol. Shoot!! you a RAT you cand do anything!
I remember seeing footage of her running out of a hotel (right after a bombing) screaming and crying hysterically.
(Which was essentially nothing of interest or value.)
If E-4 niteowl77 Jr can't bring back swag, Lara Logan can't bring back swag.
Vox Mr. niteowl77, vox dei!
Mr. niteowl77
“The contractor impregnated Logan” from what I have read about Logan, maybe a sub-contractor got the job done.
Ummmm, dems get a pass - or they get "bailed out" or the MSM covers for them.
You can "wait" but don't hold your breath...
