Unfortunately she probably never suspected there was any danger. She’s young enough that she probably got the standard liberal education on the American oppression of the world.

Worse yet, given the liberal view of the world, she would think she deserved it because of the way America has oppressed everyone.

Lara Logan is no stranger to reporting on war and revolution

"In late January 2007, Logan filed a report about fighting along Haifa Street in Baghdad. When CBS News refused to run the report on the nightly news because the footage was "a bit strong" (although the network did run the report on their internet site), Logan tried to win public support to reverse this decision. Logan said, "I would be very grateful if any of you have a chance to watch this story and pass the link on to as many people you know as possible. It should be seen. And people should know about this." Logan went on to use some of the Haifa Street material in a 60 Minutes report about life in Baghdad under the surge."

Logan has described how she begged a clerk at the Russian Embassy in London to give her an expedited visa to travel to Afghanistan days after the September 11, 2001, attacks. While in Afghanistan in November 2001, Logan, then working as a correspondent for the British morning program, GMTV, infiltrated the American- and British-backed Northern Alliance fighting against the Taliban. Then she interviewed the Northern Alliance's commander, General Babajan, at the Bagram Air Base.

Logan next spent much of the next four years reporting from the field, including battlefields, in Afghanistan, traveling often as an embedded journalist with the American Armed Forces.

Logan was promoted to the position of the Chief Foreign Correspondent for CBS News in February 2006.

Guess you could say she is now a graduate of the School of Hard Knocks...

I guarantee you she suspected...She was here in Baghdad for a while and knows very well the dangers in this part of the world. Some of the comments about her are ridiculous. She gave fair coverage of our guys over here.
