"Waterboarding Is Torture, Holder Tells Senators; Justice Dept. Nominee Rejects Bush-Era Policies but Stresses Bipartisanship"

"Waterboarding Is Torture, Holder Tells Senators; Justice Dept. Nominee Rejects Bush-Era Policies but Stresses Bipartisanship": This article will appear Friday in The Washington Post.

Friday's edition of The New York Times will report that "Nominee Wants Some Detainees Tried in the U.S."

The Los Angeles Times provides a news update headlined "Holder calls waterboarding torture, vows Justice reforms; Obama's nominee for attorney general tells confirmation hearing he will counter political interference; Holder says he is trying to figure out what to do with Guantanamo detainees."

McClatchy Newspapers report that "Obama's attorney general pick calls waterboarding torture."

The Christian Science Monitor reports that "Holder denounces waterboarding, other forms of 'torture'; Says an assessment of past political interference with the Justice Department 'has to be done.'"

law.com reports that "Holder Sets Tone as Confirmation Hearings Begin."

From National Public Radio, this evening's broadcast of "All Things Considered" contained an audio segment entitled "Holder Calls Waterboarding Torture." Today's broadcast of "Day to Day" contained an audio segment entitled "What's Holding Up Eric Holder?" (featuring Dahlia Lithwick). And yesterday's broadcast of "All Things Considered" contained an audio segment entitled "Holder May Face Grilling At Confirmation." RealPlayer is required to launch these audio segments.

Finally, online at Slate, Dahlia Lithwick has an essay entitled "Holder Steady: The Senate confirmation hearings prove bruising chiefly for Al Gonzales."
