No mention of Lara Logan assault on Al Jazeera web page

Google her name on the Al Jazeera web page and this comes up under Richard Gizbert's "Listening Post," a segment that covers media:

"In this week's main feature we follow foreign correspondent Lara Logan's stand against American network CBS. Logan produced a piece called Battle for Haifa Street about violence on the streets of Baghdad. The network refused to run it deeming it "too strong". In frustration Logan sent out an email to friends and colleagues stating the segment was too important to ignore."

It appears to be from 2007.

Gizbert cut his teeth at CJOH in Ottawa and later worked for ABC before joining Al-Jazeera.
