Maybe the 52% who agreed that "Bush is right" thought the question referred to his political leanings?

Their policy as stated here is

These polls are not scientific. Poll results are not posted here if there is evidence of tampering that skewed results.

I'm very selective on askin people to FReep polls..this one seems worthwhile.. President Bush wants Congress to permit what he calls "alternative interrogation practices" -- and what critics call abuse, possibly even torture -- for terror suspects held by the CIA. Your opinion? 1) Bush is wrong. America should not abuse or torture prisoners, no matter who they are. (45%) 2) Bush is right. Strong measures are need to combat terrorism and detect future attacks. (51.2%) 3) I'm not sure. (3.8%)


The Freepers are bitching in comments that it's an online push poll for liberals, 'cause Bush never tortured. (That's Freeper speak, thought for ya.)

I'm a bit riled up about this one, because this is the paper I subscribe to and it seems most every day there are LTTE's that denounce the paper for it's "liberal bias." Just check today's published letters here: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/opinion/


Newspaper part of disunity problem
Your Sept. 11 editorial exhorts your readers that America must regain lost unity. Yet you seem blind to the fact that the South Florida Sun-Sentinel contributes directly to this polarization by consistently advocating liberal positions regardless of the facts.


Unfair criticism of 9-11 docudrama
I find it interesting that so many people are upset with the docudrama regarding 9-11. True, that horrible day shocked our country and took nearly 3,000 lives of our fellow countrymen.

Broward is the Bluest County in the State of Florida, and this poll is just so wrong.

Thanks for your help,

-Cindy in Fort Lauderdale
