Lara Logan, Michael Ware Involved In Steamy Baghdad Love Triangle

CBS' Lara Logan was involved in a Baghdad love triangle with a married US State Department contractor and CNN international correspondent Michael Ware, the New York Post reports.

This week's National Enquirer reported the news of Logan's Baghdad sex life, and implicated her as the cause of the State Department contractor's divorce. And while it named the contractor — Joe Burkett — it only described Ware as a "star CNN correspondent." The Post reports his name in Thursday's paper:

Passions got so hot in the combat zone that one of her lovers, Joe Burkett, brawled in a Baghdad "safe house" with her other paramour, CNN war reporter Michael Ware, a source said.

A close pal of Logan, who confirmed the allegations to The Post, said Burkett's marriage to Kimberly was already finished six months before they sparked up a relationship.

"She is not the cause of their divorce," the friend told The Post yesterday.

"It was going to happen."

The pal also said Logan was particularly hurt by the comments because she had met Kimberly Burkett and thought the two were "friendly."

As for the other claims, pals admitted that Logan had a one-time fling with CNN reporter Ware - but denied that there was any sort of fight between him and Burkett in Baghdad.

"There was no screaming match," the pal said.

I suppose it has become irrelevant that Ms. Logan is one helluva reporter who has shown considerable courage both in covering the news and in standing up to her network.

Nah! Let's make it a soap opera and talk about her sex life -- while secretly wishing that we ourselves could have had a go at Logan. Screw all higher impulses. Let's go rats to the gutter and skitter along.

We've got the democracy we deserve.

Amen.

It's easier to imagine her in bed than to think about the torture and the degradation of war. It's easier to make her a sex object in fantasy than to deal with what what have got on our hands -- the biggest national debacle in generations.

Tacky to report on this....no­t like HuffPo's the only one...I'm just saying.

A long nose is a sign that a man is well endowed. I bet he is good, and she knows it.

[mahoner]

*ties a carrot to my face* :-P

[dora rice]

Who cares. With who those two fall in love? He has been more overseas then at home. he is gone so much, he doesn't even recognize his family anymore. She is over there in need to have a friend and and some recreation. They are people and humans. If they fell in love, it means that two courageous , intelligent , daring people found each other. That's all. Everybody likes them both. I wish he would become our president, and she would make a hell of a first lady. They put the Clintons and Obama in the shade.

Looks like Hollywood material to me. It's been five years since the war began and these people are all consenting adults. You have a former model turned outspoken reporter, two guys with their hormone level going through the roof, and the threat of death all around you. Oh, yeah. It's gonna happen sooner or later.

I don't think this will hurt Lara's career, if anything, it will only give her more exposure and the media will decide where to take it from there.

[Beachrunner]

Those guys . . . man, that's like some sort of teenage fantasy come true. She is one hot babe!

[rationalthought1]

Lara Logan is not just gorgeous, she's also very intelligent (no Fox News dumb blond). The fact that she also has a healthy sex drive is fantastic to comtemplate.

[billwetzel]

All I know is if I was in a war zone that long I'd be so horned up anything would be looking good, pretty much anybody would feel like that. But Lara Logan, that woman is gorgeous. I can't fault Michael Ware for that one.

[SanityNow]

Smear campaign of an outspoken Bush critic?

[MiraMcB]

That would be my guess...

[Oldtimer]

I knew this gut was banging somebody's wife the first time I looked
at him on TV, what with that crooked nose and the lonely reporter pools in Bahgdad.
I am surprised its Lara Logan. She could take her pick and she picks this guy?
The reporting pool must have really evaporated in Iraq.

[dora rice]

funny, I bet he is good in bed. I can tell.

[Mutineer]

Ware has been putting his life on the line for years trying to shed some light on Bush's war. He deserves all the @#$%^ he can get.

[dora rice]

agree.

After watching her on Jon Stewart last week and seeing an edgy side to her, I turned to my husband and said "I wonder if her and that Australian guy ever hooked up over there. I mean they must run into each other." And now we have it. Not that it matters. But just kinda weird.

[Beachrunner]

And your husband turned, gave you his sultry look, and said:

"Let's crank the heat up, break out the the pith helmets, and turn on the camcorder .... '

[3443649]

Hay! She is a lady with her good times running out . And being in Baghdad, for a while, it stand for reason that she was grabbing what she could get. I'm surprised only two dudes were fighting for her over there? could have been a hell of a riot!!

[loki]

good for them. And , why is it any of our business anyway?

[naijaman]

Yawn....

Lara is Bright and Hot. Go Girl.
