Besides totally misrepresenting the truth when it comes to numbers or what was actually done, yes: torturing prisoners is morally reprehensible.
Oh really, link?
And what case are you talking about?

Three people were water boarded. I think that qualifies as "only a handful". the number of journalists that had themselves waterboarded is greater than the actual number of detainees that were waterboarded by the CIA.

“How do you have moral authority when innocent civilians are killed by drones?”
IMHO, drones, cruise missiles and other kinds of pushbutton warfare are immoral. It makes it too easy for politicians to pull the trigger, and we wind up losing sight of how bad war really is.
Some may feel differently, but I'd prefer being tortured for multiple years vice being killed humanely.
