I had no idea. If I had to control a prisoner, especially a dangerous one who might kill me if they got a chance, I suspect putting a hood on them would make them less prone to rash action.
Didn’t know it was deemed illegal.
By the UN, of course.
And when you look, it is always a picture from Abu Ghraib.
I admit I always wanted to slap around those douchebags who did that. Not because I had any sympathy for the captured/suspected insurgents, it just made the job of our military harder.
