"And just because our enemies do it is no reason for us to do it."

I agree. Just because our enemies torture is not reason for us to do it.

However, the fact that it works and that, sometimes, we find ourselves in existential war, it's necessary.

One could argue the bombings of Dresden and Nagasaki killed 10's of thousands of innocent people, children included...therefore was immoral. We should not have done it.

I'm happy we had hard, murderous men at the helm who were will to do so.

A person is a unique creation.

He can create himself too.

If he becomes a torturer, he has created a monster.

Very slippery slope.
