Lara Logan on leave for '60 minutes' report

CBS News correspondent Lara Logan, under fire for using a discredited source for a 60 Minutes story on the Benghazi attack, has agreed to take a leave of absence, according to an internal memo obtained by USA TODAY.

The segment's producer, Max McClellan, also was placed on leave.

"There is a lot to learn from this mistake for the entire organization," Jeff Fager, chairman of CBS News and executive producer of 60 Minutes, said in an email to CBS employees Tuesday. "As executive producer, I am responsible for what gets on the air. I pride myself in catching almost everything, but this deception got through, and it shouldn't have."

Fager didn't address how long Logan or McClellan would be away from their jobs or whether they would be paid.

"The 60 Minutes journalistic review is concluded, and we are implementing ongoing changes based on its results," said CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair.
