A clue to Lara Logan's motive: Her speech a year ago calling for retribution for Ambassador Chris Stevens http://www.suntimes.com/news/washington/15581902-452/reporter-lara-logan-brings-ominous-news-from-middle-east.html …

.@ten24get @andrewrgoldman @CBSNews Biggest conflict is that Logan's source's publisher also publishes Rove & birther/Swift Boater Corsi

Mins, Logan hid these facts: publisher owned by CBS and is a GOP outlet

Logan claimed to spend a yr on this hoax & that leaving out source's link to Corsi-Rove publisher mere "oversight" http://mobile.nytimes.com/2013/11/06/business/media/cbs-news-defends-its-60-minutes-benghazi-report.html?from=business.media …

Logan even called for retribution for the recent terrorist killings of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other officials. The event is a harbinger of our vulnerability, she said. Logan hopes that America 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.”
