REPORT: Torture going on in Afghanistan. “The 74-page U.N. report paints a picture of an Afghan detention system routinely and severely abusing its inmates, most of them suspected militants caught at the height of the Obama administration’s surge in Afghanistan. U.S. troops detain thousands of suspected insurgents each year and regularly pass them off to Afghan authorities.” Don’t be silly. We have a Democratic President now. That sort of thing only happens under Republicans.
