What we have done throughout is try to put in place measures and a process to ensure that someone isn't handed over to a substantial risk of torture. I don't think we can decide every time somebody says, “Hey, I've been tortured”, that in fact they have been. What we did was do our best to make sure the Afghan authorities knew what their obligations were and that the people who were detaining them were properly trained, because you can't be there 24 hours a day. Ultimately, we put in place a monitoring mechanism to try to keep track.
