>Because, after all, whether or not to torture or commit a war crime is nothing more than a policy matter

It can become that if we wish, and it seems we did, but why? Apart from the charm of it?
The information from torture (Stalin purges, witchcraft trials) is not generally reliable.
So there is some other reason, but what?
It felt good (a no brainer) but was that that it?

No, it's theatre. We need our theatre to maintain our faith, and bugger the consequences.
