3月31日,在靠近伊拉克南部的An Najaf,美軍101空運師部的營地裡,一位伊拉克民眾在戰俘集中區安撫他4歲大的兒子。這孩子在看到父親被戴上頭套和手銬時嚇壞了。稍後一位美軍士兵打開父親的手銬讓他安撫孩子。頭套在使用上比眼罩來得迅速,軍隊表示頭套是用來讓犯人喪失方向感及保護他們的身份。我們不知道後來這位父親與他的孩子發生了什麼事。

An Iraqi man comforts his 4-year-old son at a holding center for prisoners of war, in the base camp of the US Army 101st Airborne Division near An Najaf. The boy had become terrified when, according to orders, his father was hooded and handcuffed. A US soldier later severed the plastic handcuffs so that the man could comfort his child. Hoods were placed over detainees' heads because they were quicker to apply than blindfolds. The military said the bags were used to disorient prisoners and protect their identities. It is not known what happened to the man or the boy.
