In a new report, Amnesty International documents war crimes by US-backed groups.

Ahrar al-Sham.  Secretary of State Kerry just said that this group is a “subgroup” of both ISIS and Al Nusra (Al Nusra is Al Qaeda).  Ahrar al-Sham is supported by close Western allies Saudi Arabia and Turkey (the latter is a NATO member).

The Amnesty report documents that Ahrar al-Sham:

    Kidnapped children and placed them for long periods of time in solitary confinement, leading to hallucinations

    Kidnapped a media activist for criticizing the extremist rebel group on Facebook and accusing it of corruption (he is still detained)

    Confiscated the homes and stolen the belongings of Christians

    Destroyed churches

    Arrested and interrogated a woman just released by government forces for not wearing a veil, and repeatedly threatened to conduct a virginity test

The story from Salon, a few days older, reports a lot of the same, per Division 16 for example.

Unfortunately, one might hear of things like that Al Nusra is actually one of the best opposition to ISIS in Syria, they hate each other. So where does that leave us?

We aren't supporting Al Nusra, we have probably bombed them but through roundabout ways, we may have supported their ally, Al Sham mentioned in the OP.

Supposedly, there have even been reports of rebel groups the US supports fighting against each other.

SDF, Syrian Democratic Forces are suppose to be directly "our guys", we sponsor though not Americans.

SDF is suppose to be Christians, Kurds and some Arabs.
