(CNN) -- Only one in 10 Americans said they believe Bush administration officials did nothing illegal or unethical in connection with the leaking of a CIA operative's identity, according to a national poll released Tuesday.

Thirty-nine percent said some administration officials acted illegally in the matter, in which the identity of Valerie Plame, a CIA operative, was revealed.

The same percentage of respondents in the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll said Bush administration officials acted unethically, but did nothing illegal.

So, CNN thinks they won the propaganda war on this issue? They think they have convinced most of the people? And they are pleased?

Right the media loves to do this with topics people don't know anything about. They ran a poll on Cindy Sheehan too.

They then get to frame the issue the way the like. I remember when they did a poll on the ICC several years ago. Now probably 2% of Americans know what the ICC is. SO they get to say"

There's a court designated to try the world's worst war criminals. Should the US support it?

And they get like 80% approval.

CNN obviously haven't been listening to the crapola on Err America. They have Bush and his administration impeached, removed from office, and are trying to figure out if the US or the World court will conduct the war crimes trials. A couple of days ago, out local Err America host spent his three hour show with lawyers investigating if they could EXECUTE BUSH after the court rules on the war crimes trial. These people are clearly delusional, but are also convinced they are going to have Christmas in October (this week). They know something the rest of us do not.

I see no reason to later my theory yet. The people who stood to benefit the most from this was Wilson.

The reason Bush and the administration have not gone on the all-out attack of Wilson is because the press would classify it "Bush working to squelch any and all dissent".

What a lot of folks miss is that they would do it anyway. Fight or no fight, they're going to say that you are looking for a fight.

So let me guess the composition of this poll:

39% Left wing liberal and Democrats.

39% independents

22% conservatives and Republicans.

I have been thinking about this lately. Does anybody else think it is possible the rabid libs, like those on Scare America, are making a big fuss over this because no matter what happens they can spin it so they win.

~Indictments hurt the administration (even if unfounded)
~Conviction really hurts
and most importantly:
~If found innocent, cleared, not indicted, etc., the libs can claim it was a Bush cover-up. This, naturally, will be unprovable.

Anybody else think this might happen?

Well, that accounts for most of the 39% who think the administration acted illegally.

How could it be improper for the Vice President to know what the CIA was doing? How could it be improper for the Vice President to confer with his Top aide?

Gallup found 38% of Americans believe in ghosts. Big deal.

This results of this poll and 20 feet devoted to yogurt in the supermarket cases show the power of advertising in this country.

I agree, the majority of Americans have no idea who Plame, Wilson or Liddy are.
