Poll- Most Americans Against Investigation into Torture

(CBS) The recent release of detailed memos describing harsh interrogation techniques used on suspected terrorists under the Bush administration has fueled calls for a Congressional investigation.

But most Americans do not want an investigation, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll.

According to the poll, sixty-two percent of Americans do not think Congress should hold hearings to investigate the administration’s treatment of detainees. Only a third of Americans thinks Congress should investigate. That's the same proportion as thought so in February. - CBS News Story

The number will likely go even higher as news has come out that all the reports of multiple, multiple, multiple water-boardings was way over-exaggerated and the bottom line was it was very few. See Story
