No reason for a torture scene to last 20 minutes other than to add shock factor and increase the movie play time.
I'm no member of Mensa, but I thought the moving was as boring as jerking off to an episodes of Friends, while waiting for that one magical moment when Jennifer Aniston shows some side boob to blow a load.

The torture scenes needed to be there. One major point of the movie was about the stark difference between tactics pre and post "enhanced interrogations". After Obama came down the with the prohibition against torture, more outside the box thinking was required, and that's exactly what they did -- and it worked.
So in the end it was a combination of both methods. The torture bothered me also, but that was the point. It was supposed to bother you, and it obviously did. You can't make a statement about something repellent by glancing over it. The director put it in our faces for a reason because the movie is anti-torture.
