Appearing on The Daily Show earlier this week, CBS’s Chief Foreign
Correspondent Lara Logan criticized the lack of media attention to the
Iraq war. She said she felt responsible for the fact that “no one really
understands” what is happening in Iraq. She also said that the soldiers
there “feel forgotten”:
“Tell me the last time you saw the body of a dead
American soldier. What does that look like? Who in American knows what
that looks like? Because I know what that looks like, and I feel
responsible for the fact that no one else does. … And the soldiers do
feel forgotten, they do. No doubt. From Afghanistan to Iraq, they
absolutely feel — you know, we may be tired of hearing about this five
years later, they still have to go out and do the same
job.”
