I dunno, I would personally go with what the CIA/FBI recommend but if they think it would help in certain situations then go for it. The people being waterboarded wouldn't think twice if it were reversed... That's just me though

CIA recommendations would work if they had some oversight so we knew they're actually telling truth: https://www.rt.com/usa/cia-torture-senate-report-489/
It's the top ranks pushing for more torture and interrogations while the actual guys on the ground keep reporting that it doesn't work. Lots of reports just a google away.
Wait, what? Here's a direct quote on torture:
