Gov. Jesse Ventura has come out with a provocative quote on waterboarding. Always one to speak his mind, former Navy SEAL and former champion professional wrestler Ventura wrestled with intense talk show host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on this controversial topic.
Before his powerful closing quote in this exchange, former Minnesota Governor Ventura made cogent comments such as, "If waterboarding is OK, then why don't we let our police do it to suspects, so we can learn what they know?" and "We only seem to waterboard Muslims." These quotes drew loud applause from the audience.
Jesse Ventura acknowledges that he had to go through waterboarding himself when he went through the Navy's SERE (Survival Escape Resistance Evasion) training. He said it was definitely torture, which was developed by the Vietnamese during the Vietnam war.
Here's Ventura's key quote, which is rapidly spreading around the Internet.
You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney, and one hour, and I'll have him confessing to the Sharon Tate murders.
