Mario responds: No, you are not intruding, especially if you, too, want to be considered for the Fidel Castro Award:-)) MD wrote: Jesse Ventura (the former governor of Minnesota) On Larry King Live (CNN): "You Give Me a Water Board, Dick Cheney and One Hour and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders!!" Mario responds: The problem with this absurd and incredibly unintelligent comment by Jesse Ventura which probably made sense to the clueless Larry King is that any interrogator with more than half a brain looks at more than the admissions made during waterboarding. In this case they would have known that Dick Cheney was nowhere near California when Sharon Tate was murdered. Furthermore, Dick Cheney would not have helped himself by providing false information because he would have been waterboarded again once they found that he had lied. Anyone with common sense would not want that. MD wrote: He also commented that if relations are normalized with Cuba, he would be proud to be the US ambassador to Cuba. He also commented, USA is a democracy then why Americans are barred from visiting Cuba. Mario responds: These are more idiotic comments from Jesse Ventura. The US - as a democracy - also does not allow a host of activities including driving above speed limits and driving without seat belts. The restrictions against Cuba were applied by Democrat and Republican administrations alike because they were part of economic and political sanctions that the US governments had decided to impose on Cuba because of its hideous political policies and horrible repression of political dissenters.
