As nearly all TV correspondents rotate in and out of Iraq, NBC's Richard Engel has stayed. "There is no personal life," he tells Howard Kurtz. "This is what I do all the time." Anchor Brian Williams says: "In an era of instant media criticism, he calls balls and strikes in the middle of a war zone. He is completely unbothered by any website that may have problems with his reporting while he's over in Iraq dodging bullets. He is the most agenda-less person I've met in our business, I think, in the past 20 years."
