Afghanistan is going so well, eh?
Is there anything Bush can't f*** up?
Guardian Unlimited Special reports UN report accuses Afghan MPs of torture and massacres:
"A controversial UN report that has been shelved for 18 months names and shames leading Afghan politicians and officials accused of orchestrating massacres, torture, mass rape and other war crimes.
The 220-page report by the UN high commissioner for human rights, which the Guardian has obtained, details atrocities committed by communist, mujahideen, Soviet and Taliban fighters over 23 years of conflict. Originally scheduled for release in January 2005, the report's publication has been delayed repeatedly due to sensitivities over identifying former warlords still in positions of power.
'The UN has been intimidated. It is afraid to rock the boat because of these guys,' said Sam Zarifi of Human Rights Watch. 'But the boat is taking on water and they are going to pull it down.'"
