They don't give many details. I wonder if treated him in accordance with the Geneva conventions? Since we no longer 'torture', surely they didn't mistreat him.......

I would worry about my own behavior, and they can answer for theirs.

Along those lines, I liked this report because it mentions the other 14 missing. After all, they are our afghans.
We should act accordingly
