Well if it was with permission of the government, then probably I agree.

Also based on this thread and my facebook, the american people are pro torture.

The problem arises where the US endorses a non-torture policy and/or signs international agreements banning the use of torture and then does the exact opposite. It's fine to engage in torture but then at least admit you're policy stance on the matter and don't complain if other nations/groups/entities reciprocate with more extreme torture on American citizens. Of course, these revelations will now further be used by ISIS, Al Qaida to strengthen support for their fight, justify torture etc.
I mean this should be common sense stuff, right? It doesn't take a genius....
