The problem in probing the use of torture is you aren't going to get anyone above the actual torturers.
You aren't going to get a General, a Secretary of Defense - you sure as hell aren't bringing down a former President.
You'll take down Private Dipshit McNobody from Montana. Counting that as any kind of a victory, even a moral one, is just naive.
