All three people that were subjected to "enhanced" interrogation were and are held at Gitmo. After these three the "enhanced" interrogation methods were suspended and ordinary military interrogations methods were used.

I suspect that the tales told by some of the hundreds of detainees from Gitmo that were eventually released that told tales about being tortured was just that...tales...and only a handful even told tales of being tortured.

BTW...there are still a significant number of detainees being held at Gitmo that we would like to release but their countries of origin will not accept them...and at this point no other country will accept them.
