Just because Padilla was imprisoned for three and a half years does not mean he was tortured as we do not know how he was treated. The US army were just performing their duty by detaining Padilla for such a long period of time as they thought he could be a threat to US citizens and people around the world. I sympathize with Padilla as he was not a terrorist but I think the US military was right in detaining him even if they had the slightest doubt about him being a threat.
