It is Nice to See Real Journalism for a Change

See this article that somehow escaped my viewing. A story by CBS' Lara Logan on the treatment of Iraqi special needs children in an orphanage. The boys were laying naked on the grounds with flies all over them, some tied to cribs while brand new clothes are in wrapped plastic bags ready to be sold to an Iraqi market. American soldiers came to the rescue of these young children and the director of the orphanage is currently on the run.

See Lara Logan discuss the incident and the trouble she had actually publishing the story. See it on Crooks and liars. She then answers a question on the coverage of the war that is a lesson to any journalist now covering Iraq or our government in any capacity. She is a credit to journalism. Some of the images are shocking, but the story ends well and her "lecture" to journalists and Americans is worth every second.
