An investigation published Thursday by The New York Times brings to light horrifying abuse by a Navy SEAL team in Afghanistan, and the report includes allegations of a cover-up that goes far up the military chain of command.

The exposé, which involves two years of reporting in Afghanistan and the United States by three Times journalists, details how SEALs deployed in a military outpost outside of Kalach, Afghanistan, subjected Afghan prisoners to violent attacks: dropping heavy stones on their chests, standing on their heads, pouring water on their faces, kicking them, and beating them with car antennas and rifle butts. The abuse, described here, was so severe that one of the prisoners died within a day.
