CobaltBlue,

I believe that the British Government has told its MPs that the detainees are being treated humanely. I seem to remember that the DOD said that while being transported, the illegal combatants wore ear protection (maybe military transport is noisier than civilian aircraft), were restrained, and that some were sedated (because they were not cooperative). I don't know why they wear hoods (maybe its cold inside the plane). So maybe the picture was of the detainees shortly after transportation from Afghanistan.
Maybe Unclewest or others could mention conditions in military transport.

Anyway, I would venture to guess, that these detainees, receive far better treatment than ANY captured United States military personnel have in the past 50 years.
