On the March 30 edition of "60 Minutes" it was revealed that a German citizen who was in Pakistan was fingered by some Pakistanis as a suspected terrorist.

The German man was hastily taken to Afghanistan by U.S. authorities and tortured to force him to tell any secrets that he might be concealing.  This process continued for 3 years.

This torture continued 2 years longer in Guantanamo.
