Lara Logan, CBS network’s Chief Foreign Affairs correspondent, appears to be taking her job title somewhat literally. The
New York Post claims that while on assignment in Baghdad, she became embroiled in a “love triangle”, conducting simultaneous sexual relationships with CNN war reporter
Michael Ware and a US contractor called
Joe Burkett. The course of (true) love did not run smoothly – the two men allegedly ended up fighting over Logan, 37, a former swimwear model, in a Baghdad bar.
Thus far Logan has not commented on the claims, however a friend of Burkett’s wife, who works as an embassy official in the Iraqi capital, confirmed to the
Post that Logan and Burkett were lovers. However, the same source insisted this is not why she filed divorce papers against her husband in January.
As for the other claims, an unnamed male friend of Logan admits that she did have a one-time fling with Ware, but denies the bar room incident ended in fisticuffs. He said: "There was no screaming match."
Logan does not have much luck with relationships. She is presently going through a painful divorce from her husband of nine years,
Jason Siemon, a former European-league basketball player.
