http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/04/11/donald-trump-cia-director-ridiculous-waterboarding/82889190/Donald Trump is taking on CIA Director John Brennan on torture, saying Brennans pledge not to allow waterboarding is ridiculous.
Brennan said on NBC News Sunday that he would not allow enhanced interrogation tactics, including waterboarding, even if a future president ordered it.
I think his comments are ridiculous, Trump said on Fox News Monday. I mean, they chop off heads and they drown people in cages with 50 in a cage, in big, steel heavy cages, drop them right into the water drown people, and we cant water-board and we cant do anything, Trump said.
And you know were playing on different fields, he continued. And we have a huge problem with ISIS, which we cant beat, and the reason we cant beat them is we wont use strong tactics, whether its this or other things.
