detainees;

Are you arguing that a U.S. soldier, specifically an MP, would not
neccessarily
know that the above were illegal?

What the heck would be "illegal" about that?

If your prisoner is from a villiage where high tech means a mule cart and
you
tell him the stuff you are putting on him is radioactive I can see where
someone would say it was illegal. The prisoner may fear for his life.

As far as I know the chemical components of the light sticks are non toxic.

Same can be said of toilet plungers in New York.

Are you serious? The toilet plunger was rammed up the guy's anus causing
physical as well as psycological damage.
Hardly the same thing by any stretch.
