Hmm Most Americans don't seem to mind Torture

Poll Finds Lack of Support for Torture Investigations

You paying Attention Mr. Obama? We all find Torture reprehensible and evil, but torture is necessary as far as I'm concerned.  From the article

But half the public approves of the Bush administration's decision to use of those techniques during the questioning of suspected terrorists, with 50 percent in approval and 46 percent opposed.

"Roughly one in five Americans believe those techniques were torture but nonetheless approve of the decision to use those procedures against suspected terrorists," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "That goes a long way toward explaining why a majority don't want to see former Bush officials investigated."

Fifty-seven percent of those questioned don't want Congress to investigate Bush officials who authorized those harsh interrogation procedures, with 42 percent calling for action by lawmakers. Fifty-five percent also don't want a similar investigation by an independent panel.

Look, I didn't like a lot of things the Bush Administration did and felt that the administration took away more of our civil liberties than any administration in the past.  That having been said, I don't feel that anyone from the Bush Administration should be punished for being involved in torture.  Torture along with other measures has kept us safe for the last seven and a half years, and I don't feel that should be punished.
