From Times Wire Reports
Three Americans jailed for torturing Afghans in a freelance hunt for terrorists won shorter sentences but failed to persuade an appeals court to overturn their convictions.
Jonathan Idema, Brent Bennett and Edward Caraballo appealed the rulings to the supreme court, said appellate court Judge Abdul Latif.
Idema’s sentence was reduced from 10 years to five, Bennett’s from 10 to three and Caraballo’s from eight to two, he said.
