WASHINGTON: The US needs to be tough against terrorists, Republican presidential frunt runner Donald Trump said on Sunday as he favoured restoring waterboarding and other types of interrogation techniques in the face of brutal killings by Islamic State militants.
"I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they'd do to us, what they're doing to us, what they did to James Foley when they chopped off his head.
That's a whole different level and I would absolutely bring back interrogation and strong interrogation," he told ABC News. "You have very , very tough people that you're dealing with. They only understand strength. They don't understand weakness. Somebody like Jeb, and others running against me -and by the way Hillary is another one."
