I see that the drama queens are all over that poll....you'd think they'd be tired from the soap opera that was today's hearing.

You mean, compared to the ZERO stories about decades of Hussein regime torture? Why no, not at all.

Before I answer this I want to know what Hillary Clinton knew and when she knew it.

CNN must be getting a lot of bad email.

Guess I'll send them another one. :)

Didn't CNN look the other way on Iraqi atrocities...now they want gawk all day at naked men getting humiliated. This story is too good for them not to stop, it makes the military and the president look bad. I'm beginning to believe they are doing some Kerry ads pro-bono and reporting it as news.

Truthfully i think the story behind the story has a great deal of potential to do some real damage to the democrats. It should have been handled quietly so it didn't increase the danger to our soldiers. There seems to be a lot of chatter on the talk shows to that effect.

"Democrats pave road to white house with american dead" as a headline would hurt the democrats for years to come.
