"A solitary life...David Hicks's cell, where he is confined for 23 hours a day, his lawyer says and inset, the reading room, with no books."

The body of the articles states^[1]: "..."

"The previously unpublished photos were sent yesterday by the states' attorneys-general to Mr Ruddock to dispute his claims about Mr Hicks's treatment at Guantanamo Bay. Mr Hicks's lawyer, Major Michael Mori, says the Australian is confined to his cell 23 hours a day, although Mr Ruddock denies he is in solitary confinement.

"A letter by the attorneys-general identifies the photos, provided by an unnamed source, as Mr Hicks's cell and a 'reading room'. The letter, signed by the NSW Attorney-General, Bob Debus, and his seven state and territory counterparts, demands that Mr Hicks be returned to Australia to face trial. 'The use of a cell of this type to confine Mr Hicks for eight months is inhumane,' it says."

Since only members of the US Armed Forces have access to the cell blocks these photos must have been taken by GIs.
