Which part of "reform or even remove the counterinsurgency classes" made it sound like I thought the torture was acceptable?

Didn't they reform it when they changed the name? Why keep the school at all? The other stuff can't be taught outside the auspices of one school on one base?

If we want to talk about human rights violations we need to look at our entire economic policy towards the continent

True enough.

not one school that has mixed good and bad things.

Because we exported to them a form of Constitution that has shown itself sadly weak at preventing military dictatorships.

No. We exported a weak form of a perfectly fine constitution and then exploited them for our own gain. We've certainly made a mess of things there, but I don't see how keeping the SOA helps make up for that.
