Hey Media! It isn't just the "Left" who want investigations on Torture!
Notice the Media uses "the Left" and what the Left is saying only when it suits them.....Cause all of those years that the "Left" were calling for impeachment and investigations,
the media never discussed what the left wanted.

And according to this poll, it is not just the "Left" that wants an investigation into torture....looks like a majority of American people to me!


Poll: Most want inquiry into anti-terror tactics
Updated 2/12/2009



WASHINGTON — Even as Americans struggle with two wars and an economy in tatters, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds majorities in favor of investigating some of the thorniest unfinished business from the Bush administration: Whether its tactics in the "war on terror" broke the law.
Close to two-thirds of those surveyed said there should be investigations into allegations that the Bush team used torture to interrogate terrorism suspects and its program of wiretapping U.S. citizens without getting warrants. Almost four in 10 favor criminal investigations and about a quarter want investigations without criminal charges. One-third said they want nothing to be done.

2. THis is their way of marginalizing a full investigation. Chris Matthews, et al, make it sound as
though there are only 2 camps: looney lefties who are bloodthirsty for revenge and rational righties who want to "move on".

I daresay most fall in the MIDDLE: wanting to follow the Constitution and the LAW.
