Aside from that 'little' part you missed:
"The message from top officials was clear; it was acceptable to use degrading and abusive techniques against detainees," Levin said.

The committee didn't conclude that personnel who underwent SERE adapted the techniques themselves; the committee concluded that SERE techniques were adopted after high level reviews of reports from a USAF shrink on their effectiveness against US Soldiers. So, basically, DoD took a look at the SERE stuff, and then made it policy.

I have only skimmed the article, and didn't notice the key point of the 2002 CIA memo. It is a key evidence in this case, and instead of putting it right after the accuation claim, idiot article editor buried it in the end, making it seem like unrelated filler material like newswires often do.
The problem is that the CIA memo is never quoted nor does anyone conclusively report what it said.
The fact that it included an assessment of resistance survival training effects, only shows that it was well researched.
Nowhere does anyone say that the 2002 CIA memo authorized any of the
