Yep it's that easy - if they are the good guys they are officers, and they don't torture, but ask politely in their white-tiled cellars, with "enhanced interrogation techniques".
The enemy, on the other hand ...
"We are the good guys", so it's all allowed for the greater good - but they tell it everywhere, maybe that's part of the problem ?

You have to be utterly egoistic and need a thorough lack of perceptance or brain wash to believe that it's all necessary for the greater good. Certainly, young people even if intelligent can be easily manipulated. Any Secret Service 'officers' and their 'infantry' for the lower jobs really believe in what they are doing, at least until they find out what's really going on and reach the age of 50 - some not even then:

Duane Clarridge Defends the Empire:

Real 'officers' still having their quarterpound of brain don't speak about that like Clarridge anyway.
I do not say it is not necessary sometimes, but some services of that kind tend to become self-sufficient and search for reasons (and funding) for their own existence - be the danger real or made-up (see Anthrax attack), there is no real control.

In the former GDR (then being behind the iron curtain) there was a road with a name of a german (then=soviet) spy, followed by "Kundschafter des Friedens", roughly translated a "scout of freedom"

Now that's some doublespeak (Orwell was in the british secret service).
