Lara Logan, Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent CBS News, has spent ten years covering wars around the world. She spoke at the Columbia Journalism School Jan. 20.

In her remarks, Ms. Logan blithely said “we’re headed for war with Iran—it just feels that way.”

It should be noted that her 60 Minutes segment — A Relentless Enemy, is now being used by the U.S. Army as a recruiting video.

Ms. Logan spoke strongly about the high percentage of women in Afghanistan who are uneducated, but then seemed proud of the fact that she herself has never studied journalism. “I never studied journalism. I don’t talk in soundbites.”

When asked how she stays healthy? Ms. Logan replied: “I’m not sure I am healthy.”
