Book of poetry gives detainees a voice:

DES MOINES, Iowa - The story behind a book of poetry written by Guantanamo detainees could be as compelling as the poems themselves.

Prisoners, denied pens and paper, wrote some of the poems by scratching verses onto foam cups with pebbles. Other poems were translated into English by linguists with security clearances but no literary credentials.

'It was a long and draining project,' said Marc Falkoff, a law professor who represents 18 detainees.
