Troops 'humiliated' Afghan detainees

Troops 'humiliated' Afghan detainees: 
"In February last year, the Australian monitoring team reported via cable from Kabul that detainees at Parwan had raised ''serious concerns'' about searches of ''groin and buttocks areas'' being carried out in open view. ''The US advised that, in accordance with US policy, these searches were not invasive enough to be conducted in private by medical personnel'', the cable says. ''As such they would continue to be conducted in public by the guardforce.''"
