I am personally troubled by my feelings on the matter of torture. I think torture is horrible and if asked if I condone it my immediate reaction is hell no. However if faced with specific details about a situation I can imagine many circumstances where not only would I condone it I would strongly support it. Maybe this is the result of watching too many crime dramas and shows like 24.
I haven't read enough about the charges against the CIA, etc..But I suspect my position on the matter would depend on the details of every case of suspected torture.
