I actually dislike the concept of "grey and grey morality" a lot, you know.

Try to put yourself into the victim's shoes, those guys won't be able to think about their torturer's good side. The bad guys usually remain bad while people with good consciousness will oppose them, first by negotiation (will hardly ever work, ever heard of peace by firepower and military intervention?) then try to act like vigilants. In the end bloodshed is unavoidable.

If the UN saw a dictator doing some ethnic cleansing and mass rape, then just ignore because they'll will be criticized by cynical assholes as being "grey" for intervening and doing similar action to put a stop to those horrible acts, the world would be a far more horrible place with everyone abusing "grey and grey morality" as well as "the strong devour the weak" as they pleased.

While the villains have their good side (of course, towards only their own group), they act like assholes for most others. They're assholes, even with their good side, since most of their actions are so horrible.

If only they held the concepts of "treat others like how you want to be treated" and "put yourself into another person's shoes", the world would be a better place to live in. But it's not like the oppressors will ever try to understand how the oppressed feel unless they were put into the same situation themselves anyway.
