He lasted six seconds.

Here's Keith Olbermann's report on it on Countdown.

Jesse Ventura on waterboarding: "You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney, and one hour, and I'll have him confessing to the Sharon Tate murders."

And

"If waterboarding is OK, then why don't we let our police do it to suspects, so we can learn what they know?"

Alas. So your boss believes in torture as a tool?
