1. wow - she is great. I want to see her uncensored comments more often

in the MSM

why can't all MSM be like her?

[gateley]

3. This may be more meaningful on a show like Leno's as opposed to a news

program where story after story is about the war and politics. Her appearance would seem to stand out and garner attention amidst the the other guests.

I wasn't anticipating it would be that serious and as a result it affected me more deeply.

[calimary]

20. That's because Leno reaches a mass audience, including a lot of

jingoists and other assorted knuckledraggers who only get their "news" from Pox. God, it's like an Underground Railroad or something...

[gateley]

2. Kudos to Leno and NBC for having Lara Logan on and bringing her report

to those who maybe haven't been following it as closely as we. To do that on a network entertainment show is commendable.

4. K & R.

5. She is a fair & honest reporter, whenever Ive seen her reports, too bad she doesn't have any looks..

In this superficial country of ours they will try to exploit her in so many trying to make a buck and get in her panties....Shes the real deal, beauty & brains....If one says the truth and what the republicans don't want said or exposed, they will crush you.

[stevedeshazer]

6. What an incredible woman

I am truly in awe. The places she's dared to go and everything she's seen - wow.

That would scare the crap outta me.

I'm speechless!

[nebula]

7. One of my favorite quotes

I'm not a performer. I don't speak in sound bites.

-Lara Logan

[NoGodsNoMasters]

8. My kind of woman..

Beauty and brains... International, gorgeous, brilliant, ballsy, into-human rights... All I can think is "Marry me!!!" :;swoons::

[Lucky Luciano]

25. Back off buddy!

She's mine! :P

[SeattleGirl]

9. Wow.

She's amazing!

[bridgit]

10. i admire what she does...

tough minded in the midst of it all, and i appreciate that as well

[MethuenProgressive]

11. She was getting chit here on DU a few days ago.

I hope this clip changes some minds.
She's the real deal.

[randr]

12. No one is laughing

Could it be that every one is listening?

[goodhue]

13. extremely badly she said

k&r

[Evergreen Emerald]

14. we are so hungry for the truth

It is nice to hear from someone with no political agenda.

[peace13]

15. Hats off to Lara!

Thank you for shining a light on the ugliness of war. Peace, Kim

[ProfessorPlum]

16. typical mainstream comment from Jay

who, I have to say, conducted this interview admirably, but when he said "do people ask you if you feel guilty that people listening to you think that Iraq is going badly".

How reflective of the right wing philosophy that if you hear bad news, you should attack (and guilt) the messenger. Maybe what she is saying is the truth, and she shouldn't be made to feel bad about that? Not that she would.

[kay1864]

18. Jay didn't actually ask her that

She herself said she was asked that. She didn't say by whom.

But the second half of your post is indeed true.

[WilyWondr]

17. Awesome

She is awesome. I just watched a few of her other interviews and reports on youtube and all I can say is that she is awesome.

I love how she can calmly take the barbs people throw at her and not let it get to her.She simply responds with the facts.

Lara Logan BITCH-SLAPS Rummy's Lies!

Lara Logan disputes coverage accusations on CNN

Lara Logan disputes coverage accusations on CNN again

Too bad we can't clone her so we have enough to cover
Afghanistan/Iraq/Iran/Blackwater/White House/Pentagon/DOJ/Congress/Campaigns :applause:

[Redstone]

19. I'm sorry, I got REALLY distracted and didn't hear a word she said.

Whoa.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

21. Good thing she's so pretty or she probably wouldn't have been on

My hat (if I had one) is off to her. She made strong points very quickly to an audience that probably never saw them coming.

Brava (and thanks Jay & his wife)

[SoDesuKa]

22. Lara's Explosive Temper

When Leno asked her if it was difficult to interview Afghan woman, she answered, "It's very hard to stop me when I've got my mind made up." I believe it. She looks like she has an explosive temper. If people get in her way, she goes off on them. It's especially effective coming from somebody as soft-spoken as the breathy Lara. (Who the ##@!*# do you think you are?")

[bridgit]

30. eh, seems more like 'focused tenacity' to me...

:shrug:

[DeSwiss]

23. YES!!!

She's the real deal.....

We need more.

- K&R!!!

[cynthia]

24. Lara is great.

I wish we could get more news from her.

[onehandle]

26. CBS should fire Couric and put a real journalist in her place.

If they want a "chick" in that spot, Lara is the one.

Lara probably wants to stay in the field, but it can't last forever.

[LaPera]

28. You mean have her sit behind a desk each night as Couric does?

[Up2Late]

27. Took him long enough to get to an important question, here's great Lara Rant at CNN

29. I give her alot of credit for being on the front lines.

and we should get more coverage of this occupation, it is being hidden or sanitized from us to see, no wonder so many people are walking around in a daze and don't know what the hell is going on.
