WASHINGTON - Most Americans and a majority of people in Britain, France and South Korea say torturing terrorism suspects is justified at least in rare instances, according to AP-Ipsos polling.
The United States has drawn criticism from human rights groups and many governments, especially in Europe, for its treatment of terror suspects. President Bush and other top officials have said the U.S. does not torture, but some suspects in American custody have alleged they were victims of severe mistreatment.
The polling, in the United States and eight of its closest allies, found that in Canada, Mexico and Germany people are divided on whether torture is ever justified. Most people opposed torture under any circumstances in Spain and Italy.

Yes, it should be rare. I saw Jack Bauer do it on 24, and it worked for him.
Dont stink up my thread troll.
President McCain says it doesn't work.
(where's the SARCASM OFF button when you need it?)
It wouldn't bother me if terrorists were fed to zoo animals.
"Does popular support make it right?"
Does popular rejection make it wrong, troll?
People in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were tortured enough that they chose to escape it by plunging to their deaths. Those pictures are seared in all of our minds. No amount of Howard Deans, Cindy Sheehans, John Murthas, Harry Reids and their backers and apologists can convince us otherwise.
Turn the vice another notch.
Of course not, what makes it right is exigent circumstances. What makes McCain wrong is his complete and utter failure to be specific in his bill banning torture while admitting that a POTUS might face exigent circumstances where torture was implicated.
According to the WAPO we do feed terrorists to zoo animals. Didn't they have an article on how we put detainees in a lion's cage.
Geez..must be a slow day over at the DUmmy board..They are on every thread I click on tonight!

LOL. Freep that poll.

I wouldn't hesitate for a heartbeat to peel your skin off with a rusty potato peeler and roll you in salt to prevent your cell from murdering innocent people.
Go create a home page, dousche bag.
Hell, I'll buy the fuel.

Oh, yeah, then I'd ask questions.
Time to "pile on the pimp"
