* French Journalist Henri Alleg Describes His Torture Being Waterboarded by
French Forces During Algerian War *
Three crucial members of the Senate Judiciary Committee said this weekend
they would back the nomination of Attorney General hopeful Michael Mukasey
despite his refusal to condemn waterboarding as a form of torture. Henri
Alleg, an 86-year-old journalist subjected to waterboarding by French troops
during the war for Algerian independence, says no civilized country should
allow it.

* Assassination of Tamil Leader Prompts Fears of Escalated Sri Lankan Civil
War *
The decades-long civil war between the predominantly Sinhalese government
and Tamil rebels has taken a sharp turn for the worse. A Tamil leader was
killed Friday with five of his associates in an air strike by the Sri Lankan
military. Analysts suggest this could be the beginning of a return to a
full-scale war. We speak to Sri Lankan Tamil democracy activist Ahilan
Kadirgamar.
