- Specific areas where Logan was deficient:
1. Not a single question about the "investigations" of the previous bombing and this assassination. This was stunning.
2. Not a single question about why he gets to decide who is allowed in his country and when, or anything about sacking the supreme court, etc.
3. No questions about allowing US to assist with his tiny little terrorism problem in that tiny corner of his country.
Those questions about bin Laden were just cringe-inducing. - Reply to this comment
- Disappointing interview - the reporter was simplistic and shallow. What was the value of this presentation? One can only wonder and shake one''s head in regret at the quality of the journalism and news analysis.

- Poor unprofessional journalism. Although I am no fan of Musharraf''s, certainly the issue at hand deserved more respect than Ms. Logan''s "Did you like her" and "Sounds like you were annoyed with her". What did she expect Musharraf to reply with - "Yes I was so annoyed with her that I called Osama Bin Laden and ordered her killing."
I wish CBS had done its research, sent in a seasoned journalist who had asked and respectfully got answers to difficult but real questions instead of this biased sham. - Reply to this comment
- Discussions like these - novice, underinformed, self-important - remind me why the Internet isn''t really such a good thing.
I''m all for everyone having a voice, it''s just that not everyone has earned the microphone. - Reply to this comment
- ditto DeGrant1. i was extremely embarassed to watch this interview. Lara Logan is no "top notch" reporter. waving the pen and asking questions in a juvenile manner to someone respectfully or not is a world leader.

- This is typical example of biased media. How in the world would she know that Osama is in Pakistan. She sounded no better than Hamid Karzai who constantly accuses Pakistan for all the problems that he can not control. Similarly, Lara Logan seemd to be putting our own blame on Musharaf. We have used all possible means we had to to destroy Afghanistan and yet accomplished nothing other than more terrorism. Why could we not catch or eridicate Osama/Taliban fromk Afghanistan with all mighty military and the best airforce? Now we simply seem to rely on presidnet Musharaf to do the job we have failed to do... Too much bias in the interview.

- Lara Logan is a top notch reporter who goes after real news. She risks her life to go to places that very few other reporters go. The USA has spent a lot of tax payer money (billions) to this country last year alone. Is Musharraf credible? If he was insulted by Ms Logan''s questions, then he should review his actions that spark these kind of questions. Lara is tops.

- Does anyone cares to know that Ms. Bhuto had be convicted twice of corruption in Pakistan? While her husband (who lived in Dubai while she lived in England) was famous by the name of Mr. 20%(meaning that he had to have a 20% work execution commission involved in every sector of commerce during the leadership of Ms. Bhuto?) President Musharaf is the best thing happened so far to the Pakistani people and economy. He not only went back to the records and collected all the past due funds i.e. 10 years old electric bills from the richest(stacked under the bribery pile) and helped reduced the national debt not to mention his mission towards a progressing non corrupt and a literate nation. 60 minutes, please refrain from sending "National Enquirer" type of reporters to interview such high profile personalities as there is enough stigma towards an average american. I believe Dan Rather would have been a better choice!

- CBS needs a more professional, cutting-edge interviewer to query a master, two-faced desert rat like Musharraf.
Unfortunately Lara Logan''s body language & tone in this interview was counter-productive and quickly doused any chances of extracting anything but the normal political rhetoric.
In the end of it, clearly defeated, the million dollar interviewer could only revert to a series of mild interjections, head-bobbing & wry smiles - thus letting the ''General of Pak Operations'' cleanly off any hook that may have been snagged on. - Reply to this comment
