| Inmates at the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay used pebbles to scratch messages into foam cups they got with their meals. When the guards weren't looking, they passed the cups from cell to cell. It was a crude but effective way of communicating. The prisoners weren't passing along escape plans or info about future terrorist attacks; they were sending poems. In August, 22 of those poems will be published by the U. of Iowa. |
