DU this poll.........

Make sure you read the wording of the question carefully. I think this qualifies as a "push" poll, and IMHO, a lot of folks are falling for it.

- about 3/4 down the page.

1. I don't understand many of these polls today

Should the treatment change? Should we stop torturing them, or should we stop acting like we stopped torturing them, or should we torture them even more, or should we stop arresting them at all and just nuke the joint?

I vote E! Anyone got a #2 pencil?

[HFishbine]

2. Who comes up with this crap?

"Change the treatment of Iraqi prisoners" how? More torture or less torture would require a "yes."

Do they get high school interns to come up with these?

[sweetladybug]

3. kinda like a trick question

[CrownPrinceBandar]

4. there is no kinda about it.............

IMHO, they intentionally worded the question that way to get the response that they are getting - that the US is the hands down good guy, and capable of no wrong.

5. "Have you quit beating your wife?"

Makes about as much sense.

[Viking12]

10. Exactly

"No" we shouldn't quit torturing people.

-or-

"Yes," torture is OK until the enemy starts beheading people.

[Flubadubya]

8. I refuse to respond to that kind of crap!

Sheez... whoever wrote that should be chastised by a complete non-response!

[ihaveaquestion]

9. I voted Yes cause I'd bet anything they're still being mistreated. n/t

[Skittles]

12. ya know, I don't have a f***ing CLUE what that question means

nt

[trof]

13. So I sent 'em this e-mail...

"QUICKVOTE
Should the beheading of an American civilian in Iraq change the treatment of Iraqi prisoners in U.S. custody?"

Who thought this "Have you quit beating your wife?" question up?
Should we change the treatment we've seen in shocking detail on CNN?
If so, why would the beheading of an American make any difference?
Should we treat them worse because of the beheading?
You question just elicits no valid, interpretable answer.
If you need some help with these, I volunteer.
jeez

14. Good work......

I sent them an email, too.

17. They have to be kidding

I sent them a very nasty email. First of all, what the heck do the Iraqi's have to do with Al Queda IN Iraq killing Berg? They make it sound like the Iraqi's did it. Second, why should that have anything to do with the torture pictures? Really pathetic.


Is the Berg killing a reason for withholding any remaining Iraq prisoner abuse pictures?

15. wow! masterfully crafted question - lol

(a) dems (and any other decent people) already knew we should be changing our treatment of the prisoners (for the better), so they would be inclined to answer 'yes'.

(b) the berg-heading pisses us off repubs (and other evil people), so they wanna change the treatment for the worse, so they would be inclined to answer 'yes'

conclusion: i haven't looked at the numbers yet, but i'll guess that it's 87% yes.... let's go find out.....

lol - what a jackass pollster.....

16. rofl - i guess that spells the end of my days as a fortune-teller!
