Why should the politicians need to lie to us if their motives were genuinely good?

How has the ability to sneak and peak in American homes (read Patriot Act) helped in the war on terror?

Can you offer proof that it hasn't?

How has the reclassification of what constitutes torture helped?

Sure. Barking dogs and loud music are not torture and should never be classified as such. A guy in NY can be picked up for selling a dime bag, the police can yell in his face and tell him he's going to jail, and they are perfectly within the law in doing so. If that was done to an enemy combatant that would be termed torture. Something is obviously wrong there and needed to be fixed.

Why would they include a section immuning themselves from prosecution concerning torture unless they were afraid of being prosecuted?

Because foreign nations (read: EUROPE) are pussified appeasement specialists and deem harsh words yelled at a detainee to be cruel and unusual torture.
