One prisoner is surely a dangerous terrorist - but will the Americans find the right one? The outcome rests on the skills of one appallingly inept interpreter. In this powerful satire of war in the post 9/11 world, one simple slip of the tongue leads to increasingly absurd misunderstandings - and a tragic end for all concerned.
