Americans guilty of Afghan torture
http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/09/15/afghan.prison/index.html


KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- An Afghan court has found three Americans guilty of torturing Afghans in a private jail, a case that comes on the heels of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal in Iraq.
<snip>
They had denied the charges, saying they were operating in Afghanistan with the approval of the U.S. and Afghan governments. Their lawyers said the case had not been handled properly and planned to appeal.
<snip>
dema's attorney, John Tiffany, has said his client was helping the U.S. military capture terrorists and recently foiled an assassination attack on the U.S. ambassador and Afghan officials. But the U.S. government has denied any connection with the three.
