Just to be an actual Devil's Advocate
The meetings did not establish a national policy of torture...quite the opposite, they determined legalisticly where the line between "enhanced interogation" and torture might be and advised those in the business of doing such things how close they could get to that line with the blessing of the administration.
Is it evil? Yes, but evil is an abosolute...torture is not...and if what was approved is torture, you must first determine the definition of is, which is still causing lawyers trouble.
