CNN’s Kyra Phillips is reporting from Iraq on Iraqi refugees. Transcript follows…

HEIDI COLLINS, CNN ANCHOR: Iraqi refugees trying to get out of harms way. CNN’s Kyra Phillips is in Iraq. She took a tour of one of the refugee camps that’s now home to hundreds of people.

KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR, (voice over): When you enter the Alba Tool (ph) refugee camp, you see the filth, smell the sewage and imagine the dangers. It’s depressing. And then you meet the children.

I think what amazes me the most about all these children is that they’re still happy and positive. They have bicycles. They play soccer. And that’s all they need right now.

The AP’s David Bauder profiles a couple of Iraq War correspondents, one of which is NBC’s Richard Engel…

Engel’s career took off when he stayed in Baghdad at a time many networks pulled correspondents in anticipation of the American invasion.

He recorded many of those moments for his diary, trying to capture the sense of paranoia while waiting for war and the realization he was truly alone. At one point, Engel muses about filming material for his own obituary.

His most recent close call was a month ago. He was riding with a military unit past a field strewn with garbage and, often, dead bodies. The driver swerved defensively just as a bomb was detonated. Engel’s only injuries were a headache and sore back.

Marketwatch’s Jon Friedman thinks Bill O’Reilly needs to be more careful with what he says…

Is this a frivolous lawsuit? Maybe. Is von Anhalt trying to capitalize on his tabloid moment and O’Reilly’s fame? You could say that.

Still, O’Reilly shouldn’t call someone — anyone — a fraud. He’s opening the door for aggravation, at the very least. Couldn’t he have used less inflammatory remarks to make his point?

Von Anhalt, married to Zsa Zsa Gabor, filed a defamation suit seeking at least $10 million in damages Wednesday in Los Angeles County superior court. The lawsuit followed comments O’Reilly allegedly made during his show, “The O’Reilly Factor,” on Feb. 22.

O’Reilly probably won’t change anything about his broadcasting style; look for him to continue to provoke people. But this lawsuit, whatever you think of it, doesn’t help his image or the media’s.
