"Would we ever read these stories about a male correspondent? Or, say, (another) female journalist?"

Yes, of course we would. It's about ethics, and that's news.

Ang, you are RIGHT ON! OMG, it is beyond ridiculous! Flings go on all the time in a war zone, since media coverage began. My ex was a former war journalist and confessed to me it was common practice, he looked at it as a last oppertunity to have sex, they all did it! I almost could understand, but I broke up with him when he planned to go back in the field. Not my cup of tea to worry about his life and faithfullness too. Seemed very unfair on me. I feel for Laura, but it is because she is a photogenic high profile war journalist! JUICY! But I just bet his wife leaked it to the press! All's fair in LOVE AND WAR! xp

She is gorgeous and smart which makes her INTERESTING not evil. If she was stupid, she'd still be on TV but if she was ugly no men would care.

Given the Judy Miller scandal, it is good to see the media aggressively outing these predatory reporters before they can do real damage to the companies that employ them.

Angela: thanks for the tip! I hesitate to say "More please" because I don't actually like sleaze, but if it's to correct an imbalance, then it's justified. And most of the journalists are male, I guess, so, statistically, most of the unchastity will be on that side. Probably even more than the proportion of the sexes would imply.

anyone who doubts Logan's intelligence needs to pull up the Stewart interview and just listen to it... People, hot or not, having affairs in a war zone is a story?...And her shot at CBS was not at all a minor thing. It was a shockingly direct disparaging of her bosses' news judgment and integrity. these revelations coming on the heels of that appearance have the whiff of a calculated smear.

>>>I criticize her on her choice of men. Couldn’t you have found some guy in Iraq who was an actual government employee, and not a contractor?

Excuse me, I am a contractor over here, and am offended by this. What are you trying to say? I am a military veteran, having served in Iraq, and yes, got a job asa contractor. What, because I am not a govt. employee I am garbage? We make much more than govt. employees, BTW, as they are taxed and we are not. Why the hatred against contractors? Jerk.

Get over it. She's a public figure and ergo it's fair game to talk about her sex life. Is it tacky? Absolutely. Is it relevant? Absolutely not. But it's no more shocking than the "she's a b*tch" stories we read about Couric, the "you'll never guess who Jennifer Aniston is shtupping", and don't I seem to recall credible journalist Babs Walters writing about her trist with a married man? As a man, I'm offended you're pulling the "shes getting it because she's a hot woman" card. With being a hot public personality come public scrutiny. Lara's a big girl, she doesn't need her sex whining for her.

Er, didn't the very same Post story highlight a fling of CNN's Michael Ware- a cuckolded MALE correspondent? (he was mocked about brawling with the contractor)
It goes to show that almost any face on the telly, even the broken-nosed Ware, gerts treated as a celebrity. They earn their salaries, goes with the territory.
And earlier, also from Baghdad's Green Zone, tho'increasingly blue-balled territory at this rate, there was the NY Times scandal when a new bureau chief was FIRED for allegedly informing the wives of two prominent war correspondents, the wooly John Burns and his pistol-packing sidekick, Dexter Filkins, that their husbands had strayed.

Everyone agress that there should be stories about LARA LOGAN in the media every single day of the week. There should be LARA LOGAN news reports, LARA LOGAN tabloid reports, reports about her past as a swimsuit model, picture galleries, web sites devoted only to Lara Logan, YouTube video clips and video pages about Lara Logan, blogs about Lara Logan, videoes on MySpace and Facebook about Lara Logan, community groups devoted solely to Lara Logan, and endless stories about her personal life on CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, CNN, HN, MSNBC, Fox News, the Weather Channel and the History Channel. And National Geographic should do an article for its next issue solely on LARA LOGAN.
