Polling Suggests
that Americans Love Torture
This is a perfect example of US
media disinformation. The IPSOS AP poll which is the basis for
these headlines SAYS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.
The poll results
indicate that most Americans DISAPPROVE of torture.
Here are the Factual poll results:
*This means, for the less than gullible:
More
than six in ten, or 62% oppose torture and
feel it cannot be justified
"at least
sometimes"
Around
75%
disapprove of torture and feel it cannot be justified
"rarely"
and
at least 36%
disapprove of torture under any conditions.
The disinformation headlines published
internationally by the AP are a combination of push-polling and
misrepresentation.
Unfortunately the headlines they created stand unchallenged due to
the extremists who own our free press.
IPSOS AP
removed the poll from their database on December 7, 2005, since it
contradicted their headlines...
Here are other sources for the poll results they removed:

Here is a blatantly misleading headline which distorts the results
Poll finds support for use of torture in war on terror
Washington Times, DC -
Dec 6, 2005
(The
Oregonian published the poll results on December 6, under the
fraudulent headline contradicting their contents.)
All polls agree
that
the
American people OPPOSE torture.
Torture is illegal, immoral, and
counterproductive
Those who
torture should be imprisoned.
No matter
who they are.
Facts Matter.
