There’s a time for these techniques and I wouldn’t hesitate when the time is right. It’s determining the “right time” that’s the sticky wicket.
Doesn’t exist. Ask Safiel about military tribunals.
I understand but this is a scenario where there needs to be a governing body, that understands the ramifications, the law, our intent and act as a governing body over the decision of when the level of potential danger to the US and it’s citizens, to use these techniques on enemy combatants.

You’re killing expertise.
Yeah, you do.
I have no idea how they’d vote because an event hasn’t happened yet that warrants such a decision but I believe a governing body, overseeing the military’s request to use these techniques, is necessary.
Is it?
