They don't care...they want to know about the "magic pants"...

Meanwhile, private "torturers" in Afghanistan are pointing the finger straight at the Bush Administration.

Three Americans accused of torturing Afghans in a private jail during a freelance counterterror mission went on trial Wednesday, with their ringleader denying any wrongdoing and claiming active U.S. government support.

Jonathan K. Idema, Brett Bennett and Edward Caraballo were arrested when Afghan security forces raided a house in Kabul on July 5. American and Afghan officials say they were vigilantes posing as U.S. special forces and had no official backing.

Appearing before a three-judge panel in a national security court, the three listened quietly to the charges including hostage-taking and torture, and as three of their ex-detainees described how they were beaten, doused with boiling water and deprived of food.

The Americans didn't testify. But Idema said afterward that the abuse allegations were invented. He also said he was in regular phone and e-mail contact with Pentagon officials "at the highest level."

Speaking to reporters crowding round the dock, Idema named a Pentagon official who allegedly asked the group to go "under contract" - an offer they refused.

"The American authorities absolutely condoned what we did, they absolutely supported what we did," he said.

The article didn't identify who it was that Idema specifically named.

WHY?

Here's a picture of the sweetheart, so you know who you will NOT be seeing on CNN, Fox, or MSNBC:


UPDATE:
Browsing the infobahn I see that Sadly, No! noticed the same thing.

UPDATE 2:
Auntie Beeb did name names. DONALD RUMSFELD.

UPDATE 3:
Steve Gillard believes, with justification more than likely, that Mr. Idema has an active fantasy life. I guess we will find out, but still, how the hell did this guy get over there and run this outfit?
