Taxi to the Dark Side Conclusion

It seems to me Taxi to the Dark Side has really changed the way all of us look at torture. The horrifying accounts at Bagram, Abu Ghraib, and Guantanamo Bay made me seriously reconsider my stance on torture. Even though in this movie it shows how torture can be used extremely carelessly, I still believe torture can be handled in a responsible manner.
The problem the United States had with the recent torture scandals, as seen in the movie, was the bureaucracies and miscommunication within the government. Also, the vagueness of the training and torture techniques that were to be used was a tool by the higher officials to elude blame. (As David pointed out) The soldiers that received the orders to gain information from the prisoners were obviously very confused about what they were supposed to do. However, I personally put a lot of blame on the soldiers for committing the torture scandals because they could have let their moral order guide their decisions. Instead of this, they turned into mechanisms of the 'evil system' and carried out horrendous acts on other human beings.
Torture can be handled in a irresponsible manner. The United States is a clear example, which was evident from the movie. It was a slippery slope of loopholes and deceit by officials such as Alberto Gonzales and Donald Rumsfield. The soldiers carried out vague orders hastily.
This case puts a permanent blemish on torture. However, if handled with care, torture can be used in a humane (less inhumane?) way. It is an issue of setting out concrete standards with proper training.
But now that I contemplate it in a pragmatic sense instead of a theoretical one, it seems nearly unfathomable.
