All I know is as soon as I heard the water sloshing around in the
bucket, I would have confessed to every terrorist attack committed in
the last 50 yrs. I would also provide them the details of every
terrorist attack we were planning, we might be planning or that we will
plan in the future. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you.

Jesse Ventura asked for an hour with Cheney and a waterboard and
promised he could get Cheney to confess to the Sharon Tate murders.

The technique has been used by many to force false confessions for use
as propaganda. I believe this is what was behind Cheney's support.

He wanted to force a confession that Iraq and bin Laden were in
cahoots prior to our invading Iraq.
