What was the worst outcome of the CIA's post-9/11 torture program?
The worst outcome was that it turned into a massive success for terrorists by revealing American hypocrisy. Al-Qaeda successfully provoked the United States to violate its own norms and values, transforming terrorists into symbols of American double standards rather than symbols of terror. The CIA not only failed to obtain useful intelligence through these methods, but also tainted cases against suspects by using torture, making evidence inadmissible in court and preventing justice for victims' families. This undermined America's moral standing and eroded the foundations of the legal system the country had built.
