First Europe complained about the treatment of Al-Qaeda prisoners at Camp X-Ray in Cuba. Now it appears Secretary of State Colin Powell wants changes made. Published reports say Powell will ask the President to grant captives new protections under the Geneva Convention -- that could shield them from interrogations. The idea challenges the White House position that the detainees are "unlawful combatants" and not prisoners of war.
