If it is against the law, you wouldn’t use the technique. Simple as that.

If that means you don’t get some information — well that sucks, but it is the law we request other countries live by.

Terrorists are non-state actors. And the states which support them may be signatories to the Geneva convention, but they are not so picky when it comes to abiding by the letter of the law. Do you really think that the “law” protects captured American soldiers?
