Zero Dark Thirty "teaches" three things:
First, both military/secret service personnel and terrorists are just as boring and miserable as any other average person in the street.
Second, it is possible and and in principle "alright" to torture people if this is what you job demands. It won't make you less human or extraordinarily evil. Things will go on normally just as before.
Third, despite the fact that American military and secret services possess almost unlimited financial and technological resources, it still isn't that easy to catch and kill a smart and careful terrorist, so they still deserve a credit for achieving that.
