Ventura: If waterboarding is ok and within the rule of law, why don't the police waterboard suspects to find out who they work with? Why didn't we waterboard McVeigh and Nichols after Oklahoma City?



Why only "high value" targets? If these techniques are not torture we should be using them routinely on a daily basis against all suspects if the results "have a chance" at "protecting american lives". Kidnapping suspect? Waterboard him to find out where the victim is. Bank robber caught? Keep him awake and in stress positions for a week until he tells you where his conspirators went with the money. They might rob another bank and kill someone, gotta protect americans don't we? We're allowed to question suspects for hours and hours, why not just add another few days and some forced drownings on top of it to get to the bottom of the matter quickly? Think of how much time and money will be saved.

Liz Hasslebeck represents everything that's wrong with the GOP. She's pretty as hell, but god damn she's dumb and vapid. And shrill to boot (fox news should give her a show)

Sometimes, you're no better than the conservatives. You would not have called Hasselbeck pretty, vapid or shrill were she a man. Please leave the sexism to the conservatives.

It is torture and we shouldn't do it

Jesse also called both parties criminals

He's got my vote
