That same day, McCain and Reed wrote a letter to 弁護 長官 Jim Mattis asking him to 行為/行う an 即座の review of the 報告(する)/憶測d 乱用 and what U.S. 軍隊s knew.

"Even the suggestion that the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs 許容するs 拷問 by our foreign partners 妥協s our 国家の 安全 使節団 by 土台を崩すing the moral 原則 that distinguishes us from our enemies- our belief that all people 所有する basic human 権利s," the 上院議員s wrote Mattis . "We are 確信して that you find these 主張s as 極端に troubling as we do."

Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, 副/悪徳行為 Chairman of the 上院 (資金の)充当/歳出s 委員会, also called for an 調査 and 公式文書,認めるd that support for the UAE 軍隊s could 侵害する/違反する a 法律 he wrote that forbids 基金ing to known human 権利s violators.

"報告(する)/憶測s of 行為/法令/行動するs of 拷問 by スパイ/執行官s of a 政府 that is supported by the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs, and the 可能性 that U.S. 軍の 職員/兵員 may have been aware of it, should (犯罪の)一味 alarm bells at the Department of 弁護," Leahy said in a 声明 to the AP.

The AP's 報告(する)/憶測 詳細(に述べる)d a 網状組織 of secret 刑務所,拘置所s across southern Yemen where hundreds are 拘留するd in the 追跡(する) for al-Qaida 交戦的なs and held without 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s.

The American Civil Liberties Union also said Friday that it had とじ込み/提出するd a Freedom of (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) 行為/法令/行動する request for U.S. 記録,記録的な/記録するs 関係のある to the 尋問s.

The UAE 省 of Foreign 事件/事情/状勢s said in a 声明 Friday that the 主張s are "完全に untrue" and a "political game" by Yemeni 民兵s to discredit a Saudi-led 連合 that 含むs the UAE. It says it does not run or 監督する any 刑務所,拘置所s in Yemen, and that any such 施設s are under "the juris diction of the Yemeni 合法的 当局."

Most of the 内密の 場所/位置s are run by either the Hadramawt エリート or 安全 Belt, Yemeni 軍隊s that were created, trained and 財政/金融d by the UAE. 公式に, they are under the 当局 of Yemen's 国祭的な 認めるd 政府, but 多重の Yemeni 政府 公式の/役人s told the AP they have no 支配(する)/統制する over them and they answer to the Emiratis.

Several 親族s of 囚人s told the AP that they spoke 繰り返して with the Emirati officer in 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 of the 場所/位置, who identified himself only by a pseudonym, Abu Ahmed, trying to 安全な・保証する their 親族s' 解放(する).

The former 抑留者s and the 親族s of 囚人s spoke on 条件 of anonymity 恐れるing 報復 against themselves or their loved ones.

"We request that you direct an 即座の review of the facts and circumstances 関係のある to these 申し立てられた/疑わしい 乱用s, 含むing U.S. support to the Emirati and Yemeni partner 軍隊s that were purportedly 伴う/関わるd," the 国会議員s wrote.
