Afghan detainees allegedly abused now missing

In the latest development in a probe into allegations of abuse by Canadian soldiers, three key prisoners in the investigation have disappeared while in Afghan custody. The development, first reported by The Globe and Mail on Friday, represents a serious breach in the prisoner handover agreement between Canadian and Afghan forces and could hinder the investigation into charges that Canadian soldiers physically abused prisoners before handing them over. The development may also fuel criticism of the prisoner handover agreement and cast doubt on government assurances that all prisoners are properly treated.

Human rights groups have complained that under a detainee agreement with Afghanistan, Canada can't monitor detainees after they have been handed over and can't ensure that they will not be tortured or even executed in Afghan prisons.

Jeez.... how can you get the trust of the people, and explain to them what's going on, when you got the government you are trying to help, screwing things up?
