July 21, 2004  |  Kabul, Afghanistan -- Three Americans went on trial Wednesday on charges they tortured eight prisoners in a private jail, with the group's leader saying he had tacit support from senior Pentagon officials who once offered to put his team under contract.

The U.S. military says the men were freelancers operating outside the law and without their knowledge.

Am I the only one that has not seen nor heard anything about this?.  Shouldn't this be a huge story?
