Peter King: ‘Pompeo Represents More Realistic Approaches’ to Fighting Terror

KING: "I believe that Mike Pompeo represents more realistic approaches. I think this president has been too politically correct. And I think what Mike Pompeo is saying, we were up against an existential enemy and we have to use certain resources we may not have used in the past. Like you say, wiretapping. There's nothing illegal about any type of surveillance that Mike Pompeo is talking about. The NSA is essential. FISA (ph) is essential. All those essential weapons to use against ISIS, against al Qaeda, against Islamic terrorism. And as far as we're going back to Guantanamo, that's really an old story right now, but waterboarding was used against three people and it was very effective. I supported waterboarding. I support it today. It's not torture. I don't consider it torture at all. It was used in three cases and it was very effective."
