“60 Minutes” correspondent Lara Logan apologized Friday for what CBS News is now acknowledging was a flawed report last month about the Benghazi attacks.
“The most important thing to every person at ’60 Minutes’ is the truth, and today the truth is that we made a mistake, and that’s very disappointing for any journalist, it’s very disappointing for me,” Logan said on “CBS This Morning. “Nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake, but if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility and you have to say you were wrong, and in this case we were wrong.”
CBS and “60 Minutes” came under fire after their Oct. 27 report with security contractor Dylan Davies, who recalled dramatic details about the attacks in Libya last September that left four Americans dead, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
Davies, who appeared using the
pseudonym Morgan Jones, “worked for the State Department in Libya, he
was the manager of the local guard force at the Benghazi special mission
compound, and he described for us his actions that night, saying he had
entered the compound and he had a confrontation with one of the
attackers, and he also said that he’d seen the body of Ambassador Chris
Stevens in a local hospital,” Logan said Friday.

60 Minutes reporter Lara Logan admitted on Friday that a person who
claimed to have been witness to the deadly September 11, 2012 attack on
an American consulate in Benghazi and who served as the centerpiece of a
recent report on that attack may have misled her. In late October, 60 Minutes ran a report
featuring the account of British security expert Dylan Davies — though
he called himself Morgan Jones — who recounted in detail his actions in
the early morning hours during the Benghazi attack. It was later
revealed that Davies told the FBI he did not visit the American
diplomatic compound on the night of the attack and had not, as he
claimed, seen the body of slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
