58% Oppose Further Investigation of U.S. Torture Allegations

President Obama and Senate Democratic leaders are opposed to more investigations of how the Bush administration treated terrorism suspects, and 58% of U.S. voters agree with them. A number of congressional Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are pushing for a wider probe.
Just 28% think the Obama administration should do further investigating of how suspected terrorists were questioned during the Bush years, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.
*snip*
Democrats are evenly divided over whether further investigation is necessary. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans and 62% of voters not affiliated with either major party are against more investigating.
Fifty-eight percent (58%) of liberals believe more investigating is called for, but 78% of conservatives disagree.
*snip*
Fifty-eight percent (58%) of all voters believe the Obama White House’s recent release of CIA memos about the harsh interrogation methods used on terrorism suspects endangers the national security of the United States.

So 78% of real Americans know the score and refuse to play along.  While only 58% of America's natural enemies know the score and still don't want to play.  Very interesting.
