Three’s Company! Another man alleged to have had affair with CBS News’ Lara Logan

From HuffingtonPost.com…

CBS’ Lara Logan was involved in a Baghdad love triangle with a married US State Department contractor and CNN international correspondent Michael Ware, the New York Post reports.

This week’s National Enquirer reported the news of Logan’s Baghdad sex life, and implicated her as the cause of the State Department contractor’s divorce. And while it named the contractor — Joe Burkett — it only described Ware as a “star CNN correspondent.” The Post reports his name in Thursday’s paper:

Passions got so hot in the combat zone that one of her lovers, Joe Burkett, brawled in a Baghdad “safe house” with her other paramour, CNN war reporter Michael Ware, a source said. A close pal of Logan, who confirmed the allegations to The Post, said Burkett’s marriage to Kimberly was already finished six months before they sparked up a relationship.

“She is not the cause of their divorce,” the friend told The Post yesterday.

“It was going to happen.”

The pal also said Logan was particularly hurt by the comments because she had met Kimberly Burkett and thought the two were “friendly.”

As for the other claims, pals admitted that Logan had a one-time fling with CNN reporter Ware – but denied that there was any sort of fight between him and Burkett in Baghdad.

“There was no screaming match,” the pal said.

Lara Logan, who has been CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent since February 2006 and has reported from war zones for 17 years, was recently named Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for the network. But that’s not the juiciest news of the week surrounding Logan, who made headlines last week after appearing on the “Daily Show” and slamming American coverage of the Iraq war.

According to a National Enquirer report, Logan is at the center of a bitter divorce between Joe and Kimberly Burkett. Joe Burkett is a U.S. State Department contractor who was in Baghdad alongside Logan, which is reportedly where the affair began. From the National Enquirer:

The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes foreign correspondent, Lara Logan, has been named as the “other woman” in a Texas couple Joe and Kimberly Burkett’s bitter divorce. Burkett’s wife Kimberly, 32, was so distraught with his cheating that she took an overdose of Valium.

Kimberly Burkett’s attorney Susie Chmielowiec told The ENQUIRER, “Kimberly believes Lara stole her husband – and now they’re trying to steal her little girl.”

And in a twist that’s as shocking as any story Lara has covered, sources are charging she also had another affair, and her two lovers got into a brutal battle over her in Baghdad!

Sources charge that the Emmy winning Logan began her affair with 36-year-old U.S. State Department contractor, Burkett in war-torn Baghdad.

The Enquirer further goes on to report that Logan was also involved with an unnamed “star CNN correspondent” and that Katie Couric, Logan’s CBS News colleague, “blew a gasket” over the news of Logan’s sex scandal:

“When [Couric] heard the allegations about Lara, she exploded,” a source told The ENQUIRER.

“Katie’s upset because it reflects badly on everybody at CBS, but particularly the women there,”
