On August 11, 2008, C-Span covered MEI's special launch event, featuring MEI President Wendy Chamberlin and Iraq experts Phebe Marr and Elizabeth Ferris.

From C-Span.org: A panel discussion was held on the status of Iraq's refugees during a special launch of Middle East Institute Viewpoints: "Iraq's Refugee and IDP Crisis: Human Toll and Implications." It is a collection of essays on the challenges facing Iraq, the international community, and the refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) themselves.
