I know what you mean, but you are naive if you think our "good" side does not have those tiled cellars with its special tools, and uses any means. Think of those CIA planes to Poland and elsewhere, so the holy US ground is not being poisoned when torturing.

I guess torturing in 'export' countries solves those "ethical questions", or even more important: evade possible local law suits. Trump himself has again said that he supports torture, and it is stilll being done, not only in Guantanamo.
No, the US is not the only one of course. I would try to steer clear from e.g. Turkish or Israeli prison camps as well.

Certain people with certain mindsets will always find their way into those special 'appointments', all over the world.
And still, what is intention and mission objective for the one, is a breaking of rules and and exception from the rule that gets sanctioned by legal consequences for the other. You still compare what is not to be compared.
