Secretary of State Colin Powell has urged President Bush to declare the Guantanamo captives as subject to the pro­ tections of thel949 Geneva Convention, even if they are not classified as POWs. Rumsfeld said that as terrorists and fighters for an il­ legitimate Taliban regime, the captives are "unlawful com­ batants" who did not qualify for Geneva Convention sta­ tus, even though their treatment meets the conditions of the international treaty. Fed says economy due for a rebound Striking a more upbeat note than he did two weeks ago, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said last Thurs­ day that the economy was showing signs of improvement and declared himself "conflicted" on the need for any eco­ nomic stimulus legislation from Congress. After Greenspan testified, independent analysts predicted that the Federal Reserve, which cut interest rates l l ttmes last year, would refrain from further cuts when it meets Tuesday and Wednesday. Indeed, the next Fed move on mterest rates may be to raise them later this year. While expressing confidence in the economy's ability to bounce back, Greenspan warned that several nsks were still ahead, mcluding nsing unemployment. "Job losses could put something of a damper on con­ sumer spending," he said.
