From Rudder to Carnegie! Shortly after their performance in
Rudder Auditorium, the musicians will head to NYC
to answer a concert invitation from Carnegie Hall.
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) —
Four journalists expelled by
Baghdad said Wednesday they
feared for their lives “every sec
ond” they were held in Iraq’s
most notorious prison.
Newsday correspondent Matt
McAllester, 33, and photogra
pher Moises Saman, 29, were
set free Tuesday after being held
for a week in Abu Ghraib prison,
along with Molly Bingham, a
freelance photographer from
Louisville, Ky., and Danish free
lance photographer Johan
Rydeng Spanner.
Their expulsion came amid a
growing crackdown on foreign
journalists in Baghdad. The
popular Arab satellite channel
Al-Jazeera announced Thursday
that Iraq was expelling one of its
reporters from Baghdad and bar
ring another from reporting,
forcing the station to suspend
live broadcasts from Iraq.
The Iraqi government also
expelled an Australian and a
South African reporter Tuesday
and detained two journalists
working for the Sydney newspa
per The Australian.
In Amman, McAllester told
reporters Wednesday he feared
for his life “every second.”
“From the time we realized
we were being taken to prison
until the time we crossed the
border into Jordan, we felt our
lives were in danger,” said
McAllester, who is British.
“We had no idea what they
were going to do to us,”
Bingham said. “They kept
blindfolding us and taking us
away. Everyday it was a ques
tion of, ‘Are they going to kill
me or are they just going to ask
me more questions?"’
The group had been held
since March 25, according to
Newsday’s managing editor,
Charlotte Hall. An American
peace activist, Philip Latasha,
was expelled with the journal
ists.
All five were in good health
when they reached Amman on
Tuesday.
The journalists said Iraqi
authorities searched their hotel
rooms and drove them to Abu
Ghraib prison, where they were
separated and given prison
clothes and two blanki

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Two tobacco
companies are suing California, saying the
state’s anti-smoking TV ads unfairly vilify their
industry.
The counterattack follows a series of multi-
billion-doilar jury awards against beleaguered
cigarette makers, which are trying to cope with a
nationwide sales decline.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court late
Tuesday by R.J. Reynolds and Lorillard, alleges
California’s ads unfairly influence potential
jurors who may be asked to rule
related lawsuits.
One ad shows children in a school ya Philippines,
