Must see documentary: Taliban Country
I've started watching this documentary and it's really good. It follows a group of Marine's in Afghainstan who are searching for the Taliban and working with their governor and all that. The governor is also a war lord there and is a must see. It shows the hard work these guys do. Warning: there is some language! Not for young viewers.

There are four parts.

3. Oh, but it isn't systemic...
..."Carmela obtained disturbing testimony from local villagers, some of which echo the sexual abuse documented at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Naval Base.

“They fingered us, beat us and humiliated us,” alleges villager Wali Mohammad. “No Muslim should suffer that.” He claims he was imprisoned for three days by the marines after soldiers raided his village and accused him of providing food and shelter to Al Qaeda. His elderly father, Noor Mohammad Lala, was also arrested. “They took my clothes. I could not do anything,” Noor confides. Both men claim they were sexually abused and forced to pose for photographs. “I was so humiliated I couldn’t see for my pain,” states Noor."
