U.S. Special Forces Killed Pregnant Women, Tampered With Evidence, Report Alleges -- Washington Post
Did U.S. troops tamper with evidence to cover up civilian casualties in Afghanistan? That’s a central premise of the accusations outlined in a new report released Monday by Amnesty International. The human rights organization accuses the U.S. military of systematically covering up examples of civilian casualties, failing to investigate cases it knew about and participating in torture and brutality.
The report, “Left in the Dark: Failures of Accountability for Civilian Casualties Caused by International Military Operations in Afghanistan,” details 10 cases and Amnesty International says it gathered information through interviews with witnesses and family members.

Considering what the Taliban and other Islamic groups do to their own people with Amnesty International never saying a word, I could care less about what they say.
What James said.
I also think that these "judges" Amnesty International should not be in a position to solely criticize. They should be in the thick of it as a grunt. Let them be in the the think of it for 20 years. Then they can spend the next 20 years as a prosecutor judge. Until then they can STFU.
Also their finding should be proportionate to the number of crimes committed by either side. They should not list every alleged crime of 1 side while occasionally listing a few crimes of the other side.
The are like many others. Always off to the side saying you did not do it right when they have never gotten their hands dirty.
