According to a poll just a week after the report of the US Senate denounced torture against dozens of people, almost six out of ten Americans (59%)consider the way CIA handled the “suspected terrorists” to be “justified”.
It is worth mentioning that 47% of Americans consider the report by the US Senate “Unfair”.
At the same time the majority (54%) believes that the CIA deceived “intentionally” the White House, the Congress as well as the public opinion.
Another interesting result, was that 56% also believes that the methods used, allowed the CIA to gather information and to prevent future attacks.
