Is it ever justifiable to torture?

Does it matter what type of torture one uses? (Loud persistent use of Abba, and I'd confess to Dahlmer's crimes!).

If certain types of torture are sanctioned, should information gained through torture be available as legal evidence?

Your ignoring the morality of torturing people picked up in road blocks or house-to-house sweeps, of which the Red Cross said 70% were innocent, who we have since released thousands of, is telling. There is no justifications for their actions here. The answers to your other questions are in the Geneva Convention.
Tell me, is it justifiable to ride an old women picked up at a rode block like a donkey? Your starting to make me physically ill with your attempt to find some kind of excuse for the actions of human $hitballs dressed up in military uniforms.
