| 58% of US voters want to waterboard Pantybomber |
| 2009-12-31 |
| Fifty-eight percent (58%) of U.S. voters say waterboarding and other aggressive interrogation techniques should be used to gain information from the terrorist who attempted to bomb an airliner on Christmas Day. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 30% oppose the use of such techniques, and another 12% are not sure. Men and younger voters are more strongly supportive of the aggressive interrogation techniques than women and those who are older. Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party favor their use more than Democrats. Seventy-one percent (71%) of all voters think the attempt by the Nigerian Muslim to blow up the airliner as it landed in Detroit should be investigated by military authorities as a terrorist act. Only 22% say it should be handled by civilian authorities as a criminal act, as is currently the case. Jack Bauer to the white courtesy telephone, please. |

| #1 I see it as a glimmer of hope that the younger voters are for waterboarding. wonder how many opf them got suckered in during the Nobama campaign and are now feeling suckered and changed the ways of their thinking. |
