A different Khalid al-Masri is a suspected member of al Qaeda. So they tortured the wrong Khalid. Oops.
This is why basic things like the right to a trial, open court proceedings that journalists can attend, the Geneva convention prohibiting torture, etc etc are so important.
To trust a government to decide guilt in secret is to be ignorant of history.
