Get Over It Haters

I unabashedly continue my crush on Lara Logan. Logan is Über intelligent and has displayed grace and fortitude following her harrowing ordeal in Egypt.

Driven by an insatiable desire to constantly improve and impact the world around us, Logan began her journalism career when she was a 17 year old school girl in South Africa. As a teenager compelled to expose the atrocities of the Apartheid regime in South Africa, Logan discovered her passion for seeking truth and justice in an increasingly connected globe. Since her days as a young print reporter in South Africa, she has gone on to confront the harsh and dangerous realities of war, conflict and global change. The horror and injustice she witnessed has instilled in her a deep humility and a profound appreciation for life - and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Logan joined CBS in 2002 as a correspondent and a contributor to "60 Minutes II" (2002-04). She has been CBS News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent since February 2006; she became a correspondent for "60 Minutes" the same year. She reports regularly for the "CBS Evening News" and periodically appears on "The Early Show" and "Face The Nation" in addition to her "60 Minutes" duties.
