'Terror in Mumbai'
On Nov. 26, 2008, 10 gunmen traveled to Mumbai, India, from Karachi, Pakistan, in a hijacked fishing boat with guns, grenades and bombs and orders to kill people for as long as they could, and then die. The approaching first anniversary of that event, known in India (in what I suppose will forevermore be the way these things are expressed) as 26/11, is anticipated tonight by the HBO documentary “Terror in Mumbai.” Written and directed by Dan Reed (whose résumé includes documentary films, episodes of "Lewis" and "Agatha Christie: Poirot" and the Gillian Anderson feature "Closure"), it is very well made, but it is also the sort of thing that is difficult to recommend. You just want it to be over, basically, and most of what it has to teach will already be obvious to viewers of common sense and goodwill.

In Pakistan, fighting terrorists the five-star way
I'm living on the edge and doing my bit to make sure the terrorists don't win -- from the cloud-like, pillow-swamped bed of a luxury hotel.
