Warlord Rashid Dostum puts the number of Taliban deaths under his custody at about 250 (from illness or suffocation), a number agreed upon by a journalist who was actually there. Physicians for Human Rights has investigated some of the grave sites in the area. Most dated from years before the American intervention. One site may contain bodies from Taliban captured in the fall of Mazar, but this has not been confirmed. So anyway, the evidence seems to suggest that charges of American involvement are groundless, and allegations of mistreatment of prisoners by Dostum's forces are grounded but exaggerated.
