A logline is a brief statement of? a plot.? The Greek philosopher Aristotle defined a plot in terms of a protagonist pursuing a singular objective goal.? Not two, or three goals — but one overarching goal.? And that has been the working convention in Western drama ever since.
So the logline needs to be reworked to define one — and only one –? overarching objective.?

And again, a logline is only concerned wit the overarching objective goal — not any of the sub-goals.

These celebrities weren’t just anti-establishment, they were antiwar.)? And what kind of “agents” were they, FBI , CIA or…?
If the story is not founded upon an actual historical character and incident, then it should be listed in another (fictional) genre category such as drama or action.
And why would the government guys have to resort to blackmailing someone (a negative incentive)? when there were plenty of gungho, pro-war soldiers who would be all to willing (positive? incentive) to target anti-war celebrities?? And after all, the carrot is a more effective and reliable incentive than a stick.

A logline is not a statement about the protagonist deciding whether to decide.? A logline is about the decision made, what a protagonist does in response to the inciting incident. So what is the inciting incident?? And what does the woman decide to do in response to the inciting incident?
