Jesse Ventura owns Hasselbeck on waterboarding
via youtube.com
I've always liked Jesse Ventura. I lived in Minnesota during his tenure as governor, and thought he did a bang up job with what he inherited. His problem as a politician is that he is too honest and often too right.
Torture is torture, doesn't matter what you call it. I love two parts about this clip: one is where he questions the view that waterboarding isn't torture. "Why don't we let police do it to suspects then?" And second the part about only waterboarding muslims. It's another uncomfortable truth that's reflected in the stunned reaction of the audience, but Jesse shows here again how he's often too right.
