CBS's lara logan disputes iraq coverage accusations

CBS's Lara Logan slugs it out with CNN's Howard Kurtz

KURTZ: But critics would say, well, no wonder people back home think things are falling apart because we get this steady drumbeat of negativity from the correspondents there.

LOGAN: Well, who says things aren't falling apart in Iraq? I mean, what you didn't see on your screens this week was all the unidentified bodies that have been turning up, all the allegations here of militias that are really controlling the security forces....I mean, I really resent the fact that people say that we're not reflecting the true picture here. That's totally unfair and it's really unfounded.

Women cant fucking stand in the middle of a square without being sexually assaulted? The egyptians that did this too her are fucking retards and should be hung, shot and run over. At the same time.

@havock24ify You are right. You have done something that changes the world, and i salute you for it. Although you are of different age, birth and nationality than me, i salute you as a brother.

So, for "security reasons", she can cover a bombing but not a school opening? It's safer to cover the scene of a violent attack? What a liar

[havock24ify]

people like you follow the same fanatics that do those horrible atroscities you are worse than they are they will stand up and fight for what they belive in you are nothingand will always be nothing

@havock24ify If they butcher their women and children, then why there is millions of them?

How many innocent men, women and children did you and your brothers kill? How many innocent kids did you make orphans and how many women widows?

The only difference you made is making the world a worse place and causing pain to many.

You were only good enough to carry a gun and fight to make some vultures richer. You only followed orders like a slave and couldn't even think for yourself.

a difference i went over there to that god-forsaken country (were they butcher their own women and children for no damn reason at all) with 45 men of my platoon only 3 were 30 they rest of us were 18-26 and out of 45 only 11 of us remain and they were all my firends and my brothers i held two of them while they bled to death in my arms but through all that al least we made a diffrenece we did!! and we stood for what is right none of you can say or even boast that you have done somthing great

[havock24ify]

so to all of you who don't have a clue as to what really happens overthere and who run me and my brothers and sisters that died overthere you are nothing because you stand for nothing because you don't know and you never will because me and men and women like me make sure you won't have to see that or have it done to somone you know or love and before any of you get self-rightoues with me ask your self this what have you ever done that really ment anything or sacrificed anything that made

[havock24ify]

me and my platoon went into a village and in that village was four pregnat women and the husbands asked our medic to check them to make sure they were ok they were they thanked us and we left later on into the next day we went back through the village all four women had been gutted and their babies thrown into a fire just because we helped them imagine how they felt towards us for that and imagine how we felt i was heartbroken i felt i was responsible for what happened to them

[havock24ify]

i'm a retierd veteren and i was in iraq and i fought in sader city i put up that damn wall to keep those people from killing each other i agree with lara but to all of you have not been overthere and seen what i have and done what i have and then proclaim to be subject matter experts to all that goes on over there is talking straight out of there ass and the truth is every time we help those people and show it on the news they do get killed or hurt
