CBS News and "60 Minutes" reporter Lara Logan lambasted the Obama
administration for pushing the "major lie" that the Taliban has been
weakened in Afghanistan by the U.S. military.
Logan gave a blistering speech in Chicago this past week that ripped the
administration for the way it has handled the war in Afghanistan and
the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya.
"I chose this subject because, one, I can't stand that there is a major
lie being propagated," Logan said about the administration touting the
weakening of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Logan, if you remember, was beaten and sexually assaulted
by a mob in Cairo’s Tahrir Square while she covered the demonstrations
prompted by President Hosni Mubarak’s resignation in 2011. No doubt that
horrible experience left a negative impression on her while covering
these international events.
Speaking about Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was
killed, Logan says she hopes the U.S. will "exact revenge and let the
world know that the United States will not be attacked on its own soil.
That its ambassadors will not be murdered, and that the United States
will not stand by and do nothing about it."
