This is shameful:
Wakeel Khan, father of U.S. military prison Bagram detainee Hamidullah Khan, sits next to a portrait of Hamidullah when he was 14-year-old during an interview with Reuters at his residence in Karachi June 26, 2012. Hamidullah vanished in 2008 after his father sent him to collect the family's belongings from their village near the border. On his way home he telephoned from a bus stop, but the next thing his family knew, he was in Bagram. A Pakistani government memo says he was captured in Khost province in Afghanistan for "attacks on coalition forces" but gives no details. More than 2,500 juveniles have been detained in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay by the United States since 2001, according to a U.N. report. Most are now free, but many are struggling to rebuild their shattered lives. Picture taken June 26, 2012. REUTERS/Athar Hussain

I wonder if the US government and US military will ever follow rules of normal decency again in my lifetime.
