Notice they don't bother mentioning the DC Based opinion reseach firm.

How to buy poll results, send out a press release and get it reported as news.

Look at the damn questions and the last choice: "...[or] be held indefinitely."

What kind of choices are those!?

How much you want to bet that if the families of 9/11 commissioned a poll, they would come up with different results?

Let each one of those voters take one home as a house guest. No doubt, those voters won't keep their heads for long.

Does anybody here really think the average American even knows what the Military Commission act is?

A real related story

Rumsfeld exit may reopen Guantánamo detention issueGuantánamo was Donald Rumsfeld's baby. Now, some see a chance for change in the U.S. war-on-terrorism detention policy.

Snip

With a stroke of his pen, he approved, temporarily, the harshest of interrogation tactics used there and was an outspoken advocate of the U.S. policy of indefinite detention without civilian court review. He even traveled to Miami two years ago to promote the policy to the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce.

I agree-I'll never question the intelligence of the American people again. The biggest bunch of priveledged, spoiled, pampered group of people about to lose it all in the history of the world.

No, but they know all the details about Brittney Spears' divorce. You know, the important stuff.

"The poll also found that 52% of (800 polled)Americans believe the Military Commissions Act, a new law created in October that denies "enemy combatants" the right to challenge their imprisonment in front of an independent judge, is unfair."

And 100% of those polled had no clue what the question meant.
