TIME: Five days of the shoot were lost when the negatives went through an airport X-ray machine. How do you cope with something like that? Nair: You breathe deeply and start talking to your insurance company. They digitally restored the one big sequence, a dance number, which I could not reshoot. But the cost equaled the price of the whole film. Then the insurers said we had to return to India to shoot the other four scenes that were lost, because it was cheaper. So I just blasted every scene we had to reshoot with rain, because we could...
Over the past month, the United States has begun transferring detainees captured in the Afghanistan conflict to a military base in Cuba. Currently, the camp in Guantanamo Bay, known as “Camp X-Ray,” is holding 158 Afghan fighters.

...Sunday, the Bush Administration's internal rift over prisoners taken in the war on terrorism stepped right up to the chain-link doors of the cells holding Taliban and Al-Qaeda captives at Guantanamo. As Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld walked into Camp X-Ray, a detainee who had just finished washing his face wrapped his towel over his hair in the manner of Arab headwear. A U.S. military police guard told him to take it off, worried that weapons - like the rocks Guantanamo brass suspect the detainees may be using to write covert notes of revolt to one another - could...
