And now we know from someone who was there that they were useless, and that the worst stuff to come out of these torture sessions is still not declassified.

We also know that
the FBI resisted implementing the techniques.
We know that torture was in fact
not used to stop a terrorist attack in LA, in fact there's no evidence at all that any torture resulted in lives saved or attacks prevented.
Also, just as a reminder, the
US had no trouble prosecuting Japanese soldiers for torturing people by waterboarding.
