Hmm, no one at the CIA seems to recall John Brennan being tortured about torture

CIA Director nominee John Brennan at his confirmation hearing:
I professed my personal objections to and views to some agency colleagues about certain of those EIT’s ["Enhanced" Interrogation Techniques]  such as waterboarding, nudity and others where I professed my personal objections to it. But I did not try to stop it because it was something that was being done in a different part of the agency.
Former CIA lawyer John Rizzo:
The fact of the matter is, he never told — he never expressed any concerns to me — and my office was 15 feet away from his. I would have liked to have thought he would have done so, or at least I would have heard about them, because that would have had a great impact on me, because I have great respect for him… I just never heard from him directly or ever heard that he had expressed any concerns to colleagues. I’ve talked to other agency veterans. Because to tell you the truth, it did mean something to me. It would have been something I would have wanted to know at the time. And I can’t find anybody who remembers that.
