US interrogators tortured an Afghan detainee to death by hanging him by his arms for 4 days and beating his legs so badly they needed amputation. They did this despite most interrogators believing him to be "an innocent man who simply drove his taxi past the American base at the wrong time".

Well, there's been several cases of brutality involving the authorities of the government when it comes to people who could be suspects. This case calls the attention because of the sheer cruelty of it.

US interrogators tortured and killed a detainee because of he was an Afghan despite most people thinking he was just an innocent man. A lot of people in the military and other armed forces aren't confortable with the idea of corruption in their institutions, but it surely is there.

Larry Sanger, the man who co-founded Wikipedia, has cautioned that the website can't always be trusted to give people the truth. He said it can give a “reliably establishment point of view on pretty much everything.”
