More via the Wash Times ...

The findings differ markedly from a survey carried out by the British Broadcasting Corp. in March 2004, in which the overwhelming consensus among the 2,500 Iraqis questioned was that life was good and more of them supported rather than opposed the war.

The Sunday Telegraph published the results one day after the resignation of the British commanding officer in the Basra region was made public.

Lt. Col. Nick Henderson resigned from the British army after voicing concerns over a lack of armored vehicles for his men.

The secret poll appears to contradict claims made by Gen. Mike Jackson, chief of the general staff, who only days ago congratulated British soldiers for "supporting the Iraqi people in building a new and better Iraq."

Makes more sense so doubly the Telegraph is using this to criticize the government and their handling of the war. They probably are not currently for the Iraq conflict based on no WMD anyway but will also rejoice in criticizing Blair and Co.
