I was just curious what ended up happening to him. If he survived, after the wall fell, there should be some evidence of his existance somewhere, right?

As well all know, the use of so called Enhanced Interrogation Techniques has been disavowed by all Western Governments. Much has been said in the wake of the 2012-2014 SSCI report on the CIA's detainee program and the violation of rights that occurred within. On top of the ethical concerns, what you will see continually repeated online by various organizations is that Enhanced Interrogation is at best unreliable, and at worst completely worthless for both discovering new information and verifying old intel. Rarely, if ever, will you see any sort of argument to the contrary.

This final point is what I'm curious about here, and is the purpose of this post. I find it difficult to believe that dozens of Intelligence Organizations the world over which have for the entirety of the modern period used torture for intelligence gathering purposes have all been wrong, that they've been extensively utilizing a technique that clearly does not provide any sort of rational benefit. I wanted to get some thoughts here, and preferably, see some documentation, arguments, interviews, etc from the opposite position, that Enhanced Interrogation is a valuable tool in the arsenal of intelligence gatherers. If anyone can point me towards such material I'd appreciate it.

To be clear, I understand that with the political climate as it is, even if one was a staunch supporter in Enhanced Interrogation and had undeniable proof as to its use they'd still refuse to come forward as making such a stand is certain to be the end of ones career. As a result, I doubt much exists out there from the viewpoint I'm looking for, but I wanted to see if some people here had something interesting for me to look at. Also, I'm always willing to listen to opinions and thoughts, so if anyone just wants to add to this discussion in the comments that's more than welcome too.
