Lara Logan, the CBS News correspondent who frequently reports from Iraq and Afghanistan, has been given the new title of chief foreign affairs correspondent and will be moved from her overseas desk to one in Washington, the network announced Wednesday. The announcement of her new position came one week after she strongly criticized broadcast news outlets, including her own, for cutting back on international news reporting in general and the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq in particular, saying that she would "blow her brains out" if she had to watch the U.S. nightly newscasts. CBS, however, made it clear that Logan was not being yanked from her overseas duties because of her remarks and insisted that it had been in the works for some time.
