"We can have all the technology in the world, the fact is we have to find out what's happening on the ground in these Muslim communities and we can only do that through increased surveillance," King said.
King criticized what he described as "morons" at the New York Times editorial board, the Associated Press and the American Civil Liberties Union, who protested the New York Police Department's surveillance of Muslim communities.
"The fact is we have to find out what people are thinking," King said. "We have to find out who the radicals are."
