Writings about:  I based the song on a topical issue which is not half as dated as it should be.

The question is, in the War on Terror, are the captives considered "detainees," or "prisoners of war" entitled to rights provided by the Geneva Convention?   

Osama Bin Laden, still loose in the desert, poses this question in the song.
