Two scenarios: you innocently go to work one day looking forward to all that life has to offer. What you were offered that day was a choice of either burning to death or jumping to your death!! (Thank you, krazorbackfan for the needed reminder of what actually happened. Too many like to forget that fact).
The other scenario: you purposely and purposefully masterminded the Twin Towers murders in addition to many other plans to “kill the infidels”. You were caught and now must face a week of no sleep, loud music, water boarding or whatever, but at the end of which you are still alive. During your interrogation you provide information that has saved the lives of many others. (And many *have* been saved because of those interrogations, irrespective of those who claim otherwise).
So, in one you are completely innocent. In the other you are the murderer, terrorist, the worst of the worst, yet you were submitted to some aggressive questioning, but are alive at the end of the “ordeal” and have provided information that will save the lives of many others.
So where is the problem?
