Whether you agree with the tactics used by the CIA on the detainees or not, a majority of Americans in three polls found that the those tactics used against detainees were justified.

A majority of Americans believe the harsh interrogation tactics detailed in last week's Senate Intelligence Committee's report on the Central Intelligence Agency's handling of prisoners after the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks were warranted, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds.
The survey — conducted following the release of the committee's long-awaited report on the CIA's controversial techniques — found 51 percent of Americans approved of the tactics, while 28 percent said they went too far.
The results virtually match a Pew Research Center poll that also found 51 percent believe the CIA's methods were justified, while 29 percent said they were not. A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday found 59 percent approved of the CIA's tactics, while 31 percent disapproved. The same poll found roughly half of Americans believe the CIA treatment of suspected terrorists amounted to torture, while 38 percent said it did not.
