Do you really think that in the whole of the Cold War, nobody was ever tortured and no illegal wiretaps were accomplished? I’m not saying they were or weren’t, just that I wouldn’t be surprised if either thing happened at least once during that entire time.

Not unlikely… but remember, a lot of the wiretaps that are illegal now weren’t illegal then. FISA was passed in 1978.
