AP: U.S. Military Participated in Torturous Interrogations in Yemen
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The videos' release came as the Associated Press reported hundreds of
accused terrorists have been swept up in a secret network of prisons in
Yemen, where U.S. military officials participated in interrogations
where torture is routine and extreme. The AP reports one method called
the "grill" involved tying detainees to a spit and rotating them over
flames like a rotisserie chicken. The Pentagon acknowledged
participating in interrogations in Yemen but denied any knowledge of
human rights abuses.
