...Yet the CIA has maintained the effectiveness of the techniques.
Dude, they are not completely fricking stupid. The interrogator has enough freedom to apply strategies that are succesful. If the shit didn't work they would have moved on to things that did. That they apparently continued to use it is evidence counter to that put forward by a lone FBI guy.
I mean seriously, for you to honestly believe the CIA knew the techniques did not work but kept employing them anyways indicates that the Agency: 1, just wanted to hurt people; 2, but didn't want to actually hurt them, thus not actually torturing people; 3, wanted to half-torture people more than they wanted to collect intelligence/save American lives; Nobody is that stupid, and even if you think the CIA is evil, the agents are anything but stupid.
