From: lara loganOur soldiers have to see it live and in real time. They have to feel the heat and smell the smoke and the dirt and the blood. They have to deal with the animosity of a population that just wants them to leave. Lara Logan is there, sticking her neck out to tell the story.

The story below only appeared on our CBS website and was not aired on CBS. It is a story that is largely being ignored, even though this is taking place every single day in central Baghdad, two blocks from where our office is located.
Our crew had to be pulled out because we got a call saying they were about to be killed, and on their way out, a civilian man was shot dead in front of them as they ran.
I would be very grateful if any of you have a chance to watch this story and pass the link on to as many people you know as possible. It should be seen. And people should know about this.
If anyone has time to send a comment to CBS – about the story – not about my request, then that would help highlight that people are interested and this is not too gruesome to air, but rather too important to ignore.
Many, many thanks.
Watch it here.
The American people can have the stones to watch some video from the safety of their own homes. In fact, it is incumbent upon us to do so.
Call or otherwise contact CBS and let them know this is too important to exile to the CBS website.
