...Haji Burget Khan and the other captives were brought to KAF and desposited in metal cages stacked side by side in the open air and flooded by bright white lights. They were forced to kneel there for hours, their hands bound behind them. Some passed out from the pain. Some lost sensation in their hands and feet.
Then they were marched into a room and made to strip and stand in front of American soldiers for inspection, inspiring a humiliation that, in the Pashtun ethos, was difficult to imagine. 'When they made us walk naked in front of all these Americans,' captive Abdul Wahid later told a reporter, ' I was praying to God to let me die. If someone could have sold me a poisoned tablet for $100,000, I would have bought it.'
In a final act of emasculation, soldiers appeared with clippers. One by one the captives' beards were shaven off, and many of them broke down in tears. Some for resisting, had their eyebrows removed as well.
Hajji Burget Khan, tribal leader and war hero, would not be seen alive again. The truth of what happened in his final hours may never be seen known. One account has it that he died en route to KAF from his gunshot wound. Another version, a confidential dispatch FROM THE CANADIAN JOINT TASK FORCE 2, PART OF THE SPECIAL FORCES TEAM THAT CARRIED OUT THE RAID, states that 'an elderly father died while in custody', at Kandahar Airfield, 'reportedly from a butt stroke to the head, which has caused much grief in the village.'
Yet it soon became apparent that the captives had all followed Burget Khan in embracing the new American order. A few months earlier many of these farmers had packed the stadium waving the new Afghan flag and chanting in favor of the coming loya jirga. Now for the first time, anti-American slogans filled the air..."
CBC once reported JFT2 was investigated for 'unlawful killings' in Afghanistan in secret proceedings. I never heard of any 'findings'.
