This morning's New York Times leads with an important piece of investigative reporting which is sure to reverberate as the day progresses.

The Times claims two detainees in US military custody at the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan in 2002 died after being severely beaten as part of a pattern of abuse by young and badly-trained soldiers.

With anti-American sentiment already running high in Afghanistan following Newsweek's erroneous Koran desecration report, these new revelations will raise tensions still further.

What do you mean "erroneous"? And only "two" prisoners?

Is it really soooo difficult for people to do a little research? This is getting rediculous.
