Afghanistan is a case study in what went wrong in the war on terror. This report paints a troubling picture of abuse by US Special Forces units deployed to the country. Apparently unknown to Army officials, two detainees had died in the team's custody in separate incidents during the unit's final month in eastern Afghanistan. Several other detainees allege that they were badly beaten or tortured while held by US forces.
