The Al-Qaeda Captives
U.S. leaders are divided over whether al-Qaeda detainees in Cuba should be classified as POWs and protected under Geneva Convention laws. What do you think?
Roger Koss,
File Clerk
"Goddammit, just when we finally get some prisoners, everybody wants us to be all nice to them."
Donald Matthews,
Architect
"I have to admit, it's funny the way those Marines had them bowing twice a day in the direction of Oscar Mayer world headquarters."
Bruce Nowell,
Systems Analyst
"This is a totally different situation. Those Geneva Convention laws were written back when we were fighting white people."
Marcus Moore,
Landscaper
"Geneva Convention, Schmeneva Convention. Refute that, if you possess the erudition."
Diana George,
Homemaker
"We need to rough up these al-Qaeda guys a little if we're ever going to get them to confess who the one true God is."
Danielle Lund,
Florist
"I don't think we should risk making martyrs of these men. Notice I said 'martyrs,' not 'quadriplegics.'"
