            He sure sounds like a no nonsense kind of guy. I think he should be the one to waterboard Hannity. I want to see that, I'd pay to see that and I'm a cheap bastard.

              Pelosi has angered Republicans by pushing for a “truth commission” into the Bush administration’s possible use of torture, but the news that she learned of waterboarding in 2003 has left her on the defensive.

                The last credible news I've heard on Pelosi is that she was briefed on the possible use of waterboarding, not that it was in fact being used.

                I say let's find out who knew what and when and what their response was, then worry about prosecuting those responsible, if there was wrong-doing.

                  I think it's time to appoint an independent prosecutor.

                  Torture was done....that much we know.

                  Anyone involved needs to be called on the carpet and the ones responsible need to be dealt with severely.

                  Highest Job Approval rating the state has ever seen. Plus, he was enjoying a 73% approval rating in July 1999. (That until in a Playboy interview he insulted religion, which brought his approval to about 50%).

                    You can't insult religion unless it's someone elses.Then it's OK.

                      Jesse Ventura was waterboarded. Clearly he is alive and well and does not seem to be traumatized.

                      Therefore, his own presence in the interview suggest that waterboarding is not torture.

                      On the other hand, we would not waterboard Cheney, basically due to the fact that he is a health risk. And therefore, it supports the notion that the U.S. does not torture people.

                      Unlike liberals, who would waterboard to possible kill or cripple the former Vice President, our U.S. CIA operatives only waterboard for interrogations - never to kill.

                      Subsequently, that is why no one has died from waterboarding.

                      You are all morons. :)

                        so, if you survive then it isn't torture?

                        wouldn't that be murder?

                          Since you think it's not torture when are you having it done?

                          At least Jesse served, knows what he's talking about, and is a true American Hero.

                          How do you know no one has died from being waterboarded?

                          Jesse is not somebody I would f-ck with. His training goes far beyond what I know. Seals and Rangers are not people to screw around with.

                          They should set this up on the floor of Congress and broadcast it nationally. And make sure they both wear light blue pants so we can see when they foul themselves. It would be the complete undoing of the both of them.

                            Good call vor, indeed, never get between a bear and its cub, and never f with a Ranger or Seal.

                            I'd like to see the bleeding cyst of Oxy Limpballs explode when he's waterboarded.

                            As I said on another thread with the same topic, Jesse is a crack head who thinks 9/11 was an inside job committed by Jews in the government. Nuff said.

                              you added the "Jews in the government" part, yourself.

                              Ventura was a demolitions expert. You might want to watch this interview with Sean Hannity on the topic, before you start calling people crack-heads.

                                  I've heard him on the regular guys several times. He would quote guys from youtube that blame the Jews. You know, company you keep kinda thing.

                                    six degrees of separation would make us all guilty, i would stick to what he actually said.

                                      If I started quoting some of the sermons of Hagee(?) you guys would rightfully assume that I agree with all the bad things the left on here says he preaches about.

                                    "As I said on another thread with the same topic, Jesse is a crack head who thinks 9/11 was an inside job committed by Jews in the government. Nuff said."

                                    That;s clearly not what he said.

                                    What he did say was he has questions that he feels have not been answered.

                                    Fact, In Canada they had Air India flight 182 that was blown up in Irish air space and was,
                                    at that time, the single deadliest terrorist attack involving an aircraft .
                                    The Canadian Government had a commission, much like the (UNDERFUNDED) 9/11 commission. it took over 10 years and the cost was in excess of 123 million dollars.

                                    Now the 9/11 commission only happened because of pressure from the victims of 9/11,
                                    and when the Bush administration finally agreed to hold said commission they only put up
                                    4.5 million dollars and a extremely short time line to get it accomplished. When it was obvious that it was not possible, only then, did they agreed to extend the time line and added another 10 million dollars, for a total of 14.5 million.

                                    I don't know about you but I have read the commissions report and like Jesse, quite simply it' begs more questions then it answers.

                                      can't beat the two-party system in a system designed to keep third-party candidates out.

                                      perot still had a chance because the debates were unbiased. now they are moderated by the two-parties themselves!

                                      in fact, in ventura's book "don't start the revolution without me," he talks about how a dozen spooks sat down with him to figure out exactly how a third-party candidate such as himself actually won the govornership. after the quiz, the message was clear, guys like him are not welcome.

                                      I vote for my tax dollars going to waterboard fat ol' Dick. Just to prove how non-torturous it is, of course.

                                        one cannot believe a word jesse ventura says, in his book he refers to being an elite navy seal, which he was not. He was UDT, a frogman.

                                          You are spreading lies. Before he took office as MN Governor it was proven that he was a frog man which were the predecessors to the NAVY SEALS Something you'd know if you'd actually ask a Navy Seal, read up on the Seals or access an actual Navy Seal website. IF YOU HAD you we see on a NAVY SEAL website honors and homage to NOT JUST Seals who have died in the line of duty BUT TO THE FROG MEN.

                                          NAVY SEALS were guarding him at his swearing in as MN Governor. It has been proven on more than one occassion and do you honestly think and believe SEALS would welcome some joe blow schmo at their reunions who CLAIMS they served and didn't? You believe that then you'll believe anything.
