According to the New York Times, Canadian monitors have discovered evidence that the Afghan Army tortured detainees.
In one report, the monitors said one prisoner told them he had been beaten with cables and wires and received electrical shocks. "He showed us a number of scars on his legs which he said were caused by the beating," they wrote. Another detainee told the diplomatic visitors to look under a chair in the room in which they were meeting. "Under the chair we found a large piece of braided electrical cable as well as a rubber hose," the report said.
Some unanswered questions:
How long were the Canadian monitors in the room without noticing a large piece of braided electrical cable and a rubber hose under a chair?
Was one of the Canadian monitors actually sitting on the chair?
Canadian monitors are still searching for evidence of sheep and mountains in Afghanistan.
