Of course they're not flown in "luxury accommodations," as well you know. But they aren't flown in military aircraft, as a general matter.

Okay. So we've established they're not coming down in Business or First Class. Great.

We fly prisoners all the time. They wear restraints for officers' safety.

Using military flights the same way we transport soldiers around the globe is therefore...not all that different than what's already always been done, except this time Columbia decided to raise a stink about it *and* refuse some flights while they were already downbound.

Hmmm. Might the more diplomatically prudent thing to do on their side would be to allow the planes to land, then ring up Washington, D.C. to ask why the change? As opposed to starting a diplomatic row over the seat class provided by the US government?

All this angst is looking very performative.
