So torture itself has no moral implications? Only who is torturing or being tortured?
Jews in concentration camps had no Geneva Convention protections. Neither did kulaks in Lybyanka Prison. Were there no moral questions involved because what they were doing was “legal,” which it was?
Where have I said anything about legalities? I’m talking morality, not legality. The two often coincide, but there is no law of nature requiring it.
So did the CIA agents that “tortured” KSM commit an immoral act? Yes or No.

Jews and Kulaks were just living their lives and posed no threat to anyone or anything; KSM, not so much. I don't see how you can make any moral comparison between the treatment of Jews and Kulaks with that of al-Qaeda operatives.
