And what of our prisoners in Afghanistan?

What kind of treatment are they receiving that's being paid for by our tax dollars? Human Rights Watch has some answers.

In a March report, "Enduring Freedom": Abuses by U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, Human Rights Watch documented numerous cases of mistreatment of detainees at various detention sites in Afghanistan, including extreme sleep deprivation, exposure to freezing temperatures, and severe beatings. Detainees complained about being stripped of their clothing and photographed while naked. Some of these abusive practices during interrogation were similar to those recently reported in Iraq. Recent media reports have also documented new cases of mistreatment in Afghanistan.

But even after gathering evidence of what we're doing in Afghanistan, on top of the mounting torture crisis in Iraq, Rumsfeld refuses to give Human Rights Watch access to Afghan prisons.

Human Rights Watch has also made several formal requests to visit U.S. detention sites in Afghanistan through 2003 and 2004, none of which received any response. Human Rights Watch made a request to U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on May 6, 2004 asking for access to all detention sites maintained by the United States in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other undisclosed locations.

What do they have to hide? Judging from the pictures coming out of Iraq, they could have a LOT to hide.
