It has been reported ad nauseam on the news that there was one case of torture at Gitmo. It is sort of a subjective call, since all of the techniques used were authorized, but in the judge's opinion the interrogators were too aggressive and too persistent. The decision was made not to put this individual on trial even though he was involved in the 911 plot. I wonder what they will do with him? here is a discussion on this situation from Powerline.

It is clear to me that terrorist activities originating and supported by nations must be dealt with as war rather than police action. Obama has talked about using the Nuremberg trials after WWII as a model. He doesn't seem to realize that those were a military commission just like what we are now doing at Gitmo. Obama seems to be remarkably ignorant of history.
