This recent confrontation on Fox News between Jesse Ventura and Brian Kilmeade makes very interesting viewing. After defending the use of "enhanced interrogation" techniques, Brian begins quivering when Jesse suggests he should be waterboarded too. In trying to come up with a reason why he personally should be spared such an ordeal, he says, "I'm not blowing up America. I'm not trying to destroy this country. I'm not trying to fight against democracy everywhere we go."
All things considered, this wasn't such a bad answer, because remember, Brian was concentrating most of his attention on trying to avoid wetting his pants at the time, a problem that sent him dashing from the studio with his knees together just a moment later. However, I think the gentleman protested a little too much. Nobody had accused him of any of the sins in question, but his haste to deny them, he invites suspicion. Brian is a vocal advocate pre-emptive torture and he displays several of the classic signs of guilt in the shape of an unsteady gaze, a whiny voice and an overly-defensive manner. A little bit of waterboarding, and just a few slivers of bamboo beneath the fingernails would set the authorities' minds at rest, because who knows what he and his associates may be planning or what information they may be concealing, and it's far better to be safe than sorry.
