Wow an anti-war activist making claims that soldiers willfully assisted in torture. I think we should take this all very seriously, its not like she has an agenda or anything, and her evidence seems air tight!

You can bet with this revelation, the Reformacons will modify their slogan from "the Liberals did it too," to "the British did it too." I mean who would think that the Astanis would not torture - that's just normal taking care of business in that part of the world. And NATO, at the least, has been wilfully blind to it. But really, does it make sense to say we're fighting to keep the Karzai govt in power, but we can't hand Astani citizens over to the government we are fighting for? "And it's 1,2,3 what are we fighting for, don't ask me I don't give a damn..."

In other news, seems the practice of keeping boy sex slaves is big in Astan again. One guy bragged about having had 2000 of them. That's something the Taliban actually put a stop to - you can see why they have popular support.
