Jesse Ventura Wins a Waterboarding Smackdown on The View

Former Minnesota governor and former Navy Seal Jesse Ventura is the most articulate person yet to speak out on waterboarding and he does it on The View in a smackdown against conservative, and sometimes naive Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Ventura, who was waterboarded as part of survival training for surviving combat in Vietnam, asks: If waterboarding was okay, why didn't we waterboard Timothy McVeigh?
"We only seem to waterboard Muslims." That point seems to be backed up by these new Rumsfeld memo covers.
Ventura says you give me a waterboard and Dick Cheney and I'll have him confessing to the Sharon Tate murders.
