Quotable: On Torture, Waterboarding, and Dick Cheney

Jesse (the Governing Body) Ventura, former Minnesota Governor, Navy Seal and professional wrestler:

I would prosecute the people that did it, I would prosecute the people that ordered it, because torture is against the law... I was waterboarded [in training] so I know... It is torture...I'll put it to you this way:  You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.
Here's the video:
