The actions of US military and intelligence units in Afghanistan have been heavily criticised in a new report by an international human rights group.

US-based Human Rights Watch accuses US personnel of using excessive force, carrying out arbitrary detentions and mistreating people in custody.

But the human rights body says many US actions violate international law.

The report is damming. Entitled Enduring Freedom - Abuses by US Forces in Afghanistan, it focuses on the American system of detaining people at bases across the country, which it describes as "almost entirely outside the rule of law".




Who ever thought the USA would be a rogue nation? Thanks BuShler, way to go.

Perhaps the US Military and the CIA are terrorists, too?
