Can you explain, then? Seeing it was you who did the redaction, let me read a paragraph that was not redacted, a paragraph that was allowed free and clear, in 2002.
It says, in 2002:...a number of extrajudicial and summary executions continue to be carried out with impunity. [...] Arbitrary detention, beatings and the use of torture to extract expressions of guilt continue to be wide spread. The Human Rights Watch report on intimidation, arbitrary arrest and torture in the western region of Herat is believed to be applicable equally to other areas of Afghanistan....
That's a quote from the “Afghanistan 2006: Good Governance, Democratic Development and Human Rights” report.
Yet in the 2005 report—and I believe the exact same language exists in the 2006 report—it says that “extrajudicial executions, disappearances, torture and detention without trial are all too common”. That was blacked out.
So why was it okay to tell the previous government that torture was being used, but now it seems, arbitrarily, almost the identical language is now not allowed under national security reasons?
