You know, everyone’s calling Jesse Ventura some kind of hero for (I missed the episode) questioning Hannity about waterboarding and saying if it’s so effective why don’t we use it on prisoners.
I say, if you get a prisoner who is a known terrorist in touch with thousands of people bent on jihad against America, and there’s increased “chatter” we should use waterboarding, by all means, even if they are Americans and not “enemy combantants”.
Think of what we do to the prisoners here. We make them spend all day and night in small room and won’t let them out even on holidays. We bother them with lots of questions and make them sit through boring trials. Sometimes we even tie them up with handcuffs and make them wear funny orange clothes. It’s almost like we’re trying to make them uncomfortable to influence their behavior or get retribution. And yet if they try to escape or fight back we treat them even worse or kill them if they have success. Crazy thing this law enforcement.
