Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our guests.
I would like to conduct my questions the way Mr. Hawn did and I hope the answers will be similar, if that's possible. I guess it depends on the question.
Were any of you aware of these independent groups' assessments on torture in Afghan prisons from 2005, 2006, and onwards?I guess by 2006 everyone knew, so were you aware of the independent assessments by other groups? They've all been listed: the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, the Red Cross, the State Department, etc. Were you aware of those reports about torture in Afghan prisons?
