NEW YORK — CBS ordered "60 Minutes" correspondent Lara Logan and her producer to take a leave of absence Tuesday following a critical internal review of their handling of the show's October story on the Benghazi raid, based on a report on a supposed witness whose story can't be verified.

The review, by CBS News executive Al Ortiz and obtained by The Associated Press, said the "60 Minutes" team should have done a better job vetting the story that featured a security contractor who said he was at the U.S. mission in Libya the night it was attacked last year

No doubt in my mind that’s what happened. ObamaJarrett saw an opportunity to b*tch slap the media back into line and took it.

...a supposed witness whose story can't be verified.

Anyone else here see and smell an Obama protection set up here? Sure, the NSA or CIA or whomever will no longer allow the guy to speak or corroborate what he said so it makes the reporter appear as though she faked a story when in fact she didn't.

What's one more casuality if it protects Obama?

It’s worse than that. The whole thing was a set-up/false flag from the gitgo.

zero’s problem is she has credibility: she was raped by muslim thugs in the field working a story.

I really think that she was intentionally set up to make the mistake.

This gets her out of the way.

Now, the problem is that this is so dangerous and says so much about our Government. our media, and the collusion between the two.

Dangerous days.

Wow.

I don't think Ms. Logan is going to slink away though. She's pretty tough, and she may have kept records of the whole affair.

If she was duped by a false-flag, she will have her own story to tell.

[ReignOfError]

Not guilty.

I see a job at Fox News Channel in her future.

It is sooooooo obvious that the 60 minutes segment was a “False Flag” operation designed to discredit _any_ investigations of Benghazi.

[clintonh8r]

This will give Lara more time to sleep around....

[Missouri gal]

No reporter, especially a senior investigative reporter, would publish a story without corroboration. Her corroborating informants were all ordered to be quiet, and once the source was isolated, then the wolves pounced. Let's see what happens when some piece of evidence breaks loose to independently match the story. It's going to end up like Rathergate, and CBS was the culprit there, too.

Bingo! This ‘witness’ was given orders to spread lies about Benghazi as a diversion from the truth. We FReepers KNOW the score on this one.

Haven’t heard much from Sheryl Atkisson lately.
