Federal report censors Afghan torture references

The whole idea of torture absolutely disgusts me.

Federal government officials knew that prisoners held by Afghan security forces faced the possibility of abuse and torture and even execution, according to a report published Wednesday.

The revelations were reported by The Globe and Mail on Wednesday after the paper obtained a report by Canadian diplomats in Kabul, under an Access to Information request.

However, every reference in the report to abuse or torture in prison was blacked out.

And we continue to let them get away with doing such shit.

Read the rest here.
