Disregarding the imposing presence, talk about tortured logic...

I think what's worse is this: The fact that it happened. If we hadn't waterboarded to begin with none of this would be a controversy, would it? Torture is torture. If you're going to be a country that follows the rule of law which we are, torture is illegal. -- Jesse Ventura, The View, 5/18/09

This is from a guy who made a career of teaching children the art of mock “torture” in the disgusting world of professional wrestling?
