Thanks. However, I notice that in the article, with one exception, the allegations come from former detainees; not what I would consider reliable and trustworthy sources. The exception is a conveniently-anonymous former interrogator. None of these accounts could be said to carry anything close to the weight of a report appearing in Newsweek, ostensibly from a high-level military source.
Muslim allies, to the extent that they actually exist, could easily question or dismiss prior allegations. Their appearance in Newsweek, and the alleged source, brings them to a new level.
However, I'm guessing that on the streets of Jalalabad, the former detainees have significantly greater credibility than sources inside the U.S. government. Not that they should, by any stretch - but in the minds of the rioters, the allegations coming from sources they considered credible were in no way new.
