re. allowing 9/11 to happen and that the torture was somehow an over-reaction to cover up for their incompetence.

That's an understandable conclusion but I think they knew what they were doing from the get-go. The torture had nothing to do with revenge, that was just an excuse and perhaps a good motivater for the lower levels.
