Karzai Demands Custody of All Afghan Prisoners

New York Times reports on the repercussions of a U.S. Army report on abuse of detainees in Afghanistan. Reports also have been published by The Independent, via Commondreams.org that "...two Afghan prisoners were tortured to death by American interrogators and prison guards at Bagram air base, outside Kabul."

So now W's buddy, Afghan Prez Karzai is rightfully ticked off and concerned. "Mr. Karzai wants to forge a broad long-term partnership with the United States, his most important ally, but he said he would also reiterate a request for the return of Afghan prisoners and control over American military operations."

Hope he doesn't hold his breath waiting for control.

What really is amazing is that reports of torture are coming out every day, but too many are more concerned with an article in Newsweek than the horror of U.S. "terrorism."

Karzai better be careful in his speeches and interviews. I hope he is one who understands history. W has been known to turn on friends. Hamid, tread carefully - you never know when the Poppy Revolution will occur to take you out of power.
