Afghanistan's Newest Torture Chamber

Built with American tax dollars....

"Karzai’s pardons nullify drug court gains; Well-known traffickers set free ahead of election" by Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | July 3, 2009

KABUL - The new, $11 million Criminal Justice Task Force facility that the United States has built on the outskirts of Kabul, which houses prosecutors, two tribunals, an investigation unit, and a jail behind heavily fortified walls....

Glad you could afford that for the fraudulent drug "war," 'murka!

In this gleaming, state-of-the-art oasis of justice, life goes on.

Yeah, if it ain't AmeriKan justice, it ain't justice at all.

Senior American attorneys from the Justice Department mentor 36 investigators and a gaggle of prosecutors. Judges take polygraph tests to detect corruption. A sophisticated security system - installed after last year’s murder of a drug court judge - protects the staff. A 56-bed jail inside the compound ensures that suspects won’t mysteriously vanish in someone else’s custody....

Unless it is into one of our black site hell holes, right?

And there are certain things I ALWAYS NOTICE in my MSM photographs.

Can you spot what caught my eye in the photo?
