Dasht-e Leili

Since Newsweek and Afghanistan are in the news a lot lately, I got to thinking: Has anyone bothered to follow-up on what happened at Dasht-e Leili back in 2001? The last news I've seen on this dates back to 2002.

Newsweek, for one, ran an investigative piece in August 2002. It didn't find any evidence of American complicity in the massacre, but then again the newsmagazine didn't press the Pentagon too hard on details. Refresh your memory here.
