Mike Pompeo's appointment to head the CIA is a matter of historical justice. Pompeo has been one of the loudest voices fighting for the truth in Benghazi. At the same time he's a strong believer in using everything we have to go after terrorists. Unlike certain politicians, Pompeo isn't churning with surveillance paranoia or mourning for Al-Awlaki. He believes we should be using the tools we have to hit the terrorists and to hit them hard. He's a strong supporter of the Patriot Act, a defender of the NSA and a conservative who isn't afraid to call Snowden a traitor.
In short, he's the real thing.

Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Wichita, said his intention in sending a letter last month urging the Joint Chiefs of Staff to seek legal advice before following any executive order to transfer Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States (a move Pompeo considers illegal) was “not to put pressure” on members of the military. However, he told conservative radio host Frank Gaffney that he hoped those in the military understood that there are “members of Congress who have their back in the event that they choose to make a decision that comports with their duty.”
Here's Pompeo on Snowden
"He should be brought back from Russia and given due process, and I think the proper outcome would be that he would be given a death sentence for having put friends of mine, friends of yours, who served in the military today, at enormous risk, because of the information he stole and then released to foreign powers."
