... n unprecedented report from the corporate press claims U.S. forces have participated in extreme torture and abuse of detainees accused of affiliation with Al Qaeda in Yemen — including “the ‘grill,’ in which the victim is tied to a spit like a roast and spun in a circle of fire,” the Associated Press finds.
A network of secretive prisons in southern Yemen provide the backdrop for the alleged barbaric acts allegedly carried out by forces from the U.S. and United Arab Emirates — many of those detention facilities remain hidden in plain sight.
That some of the covert prisons sit inside military bases might not be much of a shock, but others are located in ports, an airport, private villas, and even a nightclub — and all, according to the AP, remain untouchable by the embattled Yemeni government.
Whistleblower Edward Snowden weighed in on the new revelations, tweeting,
“Biggest @AP scoop in a long time: US government behind UAE torture in Yemen, with some reportedly grilled alive.”
Biggest @AP scoop in a long time: US government behind UAE torture in Yemen, with some reportedly grilled alive. https://t.co/2ggHLcgZzM — Edward Snowden (@Snowden) June 22, 2017 American officials unsurprisingly balked at the accusation troops have participated in the astonishingly heinous behavior described in the AP’s report.
“...20 minutes to a pound...”
Is that real footage ? /s
Chiricahua Apache would lash settlers to an upended wagon wheel and roast them slowly over a fire.
I saw it on the cover of Old West magazine, so it must be true.
You are correct.
Our people are asked to understand all kinds of crazy stuff with all this equality of values BS.
I mean our troops were admonished its okay that warlords hump little boys. They could hear them screaming in the night and were expected to do nothing.
Arabs understand Arabs.
Big deal, get over it.
That sort of thing is why we have no business over there in the first place.
With “being accessories to mass child rape” already confirmed beyond dispute, this is really a step down in terms of accusations.
This country has sustained serious moral damage from our involvement with barbarians. The sooner we are out the better.
Friend of mine went over there for schooling or something.
She was gang raped, she was never the same again.
Yawn. Let me know when the AP does an exposé on FGM.
Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?
Oh, come on! Does anyone seriously want us to believe that American troops are trussing up ragheads and toasting them on a spit?????
Why would we ruin a perfectly good spit?
how could we be there when nobody says we were there ?
Well done terrorists can be tasty.....
And then cool them down with a nice waterboarding.
But but this isn’t water boarding..
This is a far left web site.. Rum by the commies!!!!
“which included waterboarding and other acts the agency, itself, knew to be utterly inefficacious”
Except that water boarding WAS effective and information we obtained led to OBL.
Bet they were tasty!
Depends-dry rub or marinade?
