Life and Death in the Red Zone

"Over the weekend PBS aired a half-hour segment of its show NOW hosted by Maria Hinojosa about Steven Vincent, his wife, Lisa Ramaci, and Steven's translator and guide in Iraq, Nour Al Khal.

Called "Casualties of War," the program recounts Steven Vincent's decision after 9/11 to begin reporting first-hand in Iraq and his subsequent lengthy visits and in-depth reporting accomplished with Nour's help. In 2005, when Steven decided to return to Iraq for a third time, Lisa Ramaci questioned her husband about whether it was necessary, and safe, to return for more reporting. He partly persuaded Lisa by the fact that he was returning to Basra in the south, which was not dangerous then."
