Shakespeare For Guantanamo

http://timescolumns.typepad.com/stothard/2009/05/a-shakespeare-for-guantanamo.html

Marie from Sourcebooks Shakespeare sent me this link a week ago and I completely missed it, so my apologies.

The question is, since Shakespeare in Arabic is available at Guantanamo prison library, which plays would be appropriate?

I can’t really think of anything funny to say, though.  The only thing that comes to mind is Iago’s “From this time forth I never will speak a word.”

Titus. But I'm amazed there's a library there at all. Mr. Topcliffe probably didn't think of that.

There's a connection there-but what a connection. What might they feel about the depiction of Aaron the Moor?
