An Afghan war lord took control of the prisoners from US forces then allowed them to die. Over a three day period, some witnesses say thousands suffocated to death after being crammed into metal containers or were sprayed with bullets. General Abdul Rashid Dostum, a US ally, was in-charge of the operation. Scott Horton, contributing editor for Harper's Magazine, will help us assess what the US' role was.
