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.

"Due process is not torture. Meting out revenge in the guise of torture is nothing responsible American could approve of.I notice how the far left press calls it the "torture" report, nope no far left bias in the media at all..
They call it a "Senate" report. While it did come out of the "Senate" it was a report done by the far left used now as a temper tantrum as they get voted out of power.
Then again many of these far left religious nuts were for "Due Process" before they were against it.
The lawyers said it wasn't torture, GERTRUDE ....get over it!"Majority of Americans agree the use of Torture was justified Polls say"
And?
The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy – a fact you and most others on the right fail to understand, where the citizens of this Republic are subject solely to the rule of law, not men, and certainly not 'polls.'
That you believe opinion polls 'justify' committing the crime of torture is further confirmation of the fact that most conservatives have nothing but contempt for the rule of law.
You a student of Grubers?If true it doesn't say much for the intelligence (and gullibility) of the unwashed. And even less about our collective values.
Yeah...we torture. So what? Don't pretend we don't.....and let's move on.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.

"was judged not to be torture".....Considering it was judged not to be torture, referring to it as torture is bogus.I notice how the far left press calls it the "torture" report, nope no far left bias in the media at all..

Then again many of these far left religious nuts were for "Due Process" before they were against it.
There was a big fuss specifically to remove the word "torture" from the report. Considering the overwhelming contents of the report are linked to torture calling it "torture report" in a subjective manner is not that off.
Oh well...."the lawyers".The lawyers said it wasn't torture, GERTRUDE ....get over it!"Majority of Americans agree the use of Torture was justified Polls say"

Let me ask you something.....if those who judged it "not to be torture" had it happen to them......if YOU had it happen to you....what would YOU call it?
Keep in mind, I don't care if we do it........just call it what it is. Don't lie about it.
Exactly. I don't care anymore if we torture them....let's just not embarrass ourselves by lying about what it is....ok?It is hard for me to get too upset with the torture of terrorist ragheads.
Like there is almost no deflection on my "Giveashit O' Meter".

Nay nay, why it's "enhanced interrogation" for the purpose of "acquiring intelligence" that we might "incorporate into our strategy" for "campaigning" in the "theater" where we expect "collateral damage".
Cuz gosh whiz, war is so much fun for everybody! Have a daisy!

51% kinda close on the "most" thing. i figure that's about the same percentage who would vote for segregation...
that's why we have laws. but i'd guess you'd have to be older, smarter and more moral to understand that.
Playing the race card makes you look stupid.
You give terrorist comfort with your fear & cowardice
Enjoy your MINORITY status scrubI'll just leave this here

Do you think that torture obtains quality intelligence, or do you simply want to mete out revenge the way medieval civilizations did?I happen to agree with most Americans in this poll. As a matier of fact I'll take it a step futher , and say my only problem with enhanced interregation is it does not involve pliers and a blowtourch.
