It's called 'Learning From Your Mistakes', not 'We Hate America'

"The United States of America is awesome. We are awesome. We've closed the book on [torture], and we've stopped doing it...This administration wants to have this discussion to show us how we're not awesome. They apologized for this country, they don't like this country. They want us to look bad."
—Fox News co-host Andrea Tantaros on Senate torture report

I wonder if the Senate hadn't made the disclosure and talked about it, and then have it happen again, that we'd still be awesome.

Personally, I think it'd be awesome to not torture and to actively discourage its use throughout the world. But I'm just a silly little voter, so what do I know.

That assumes they knew about it happening, which isn't any sort of guarantee. Bush loved to hide all sorts of things in his signing statements - odds are good that he wouldn't have said a damn thing if he didn't have to.
