Obama blog POLL on Bush Torture
Saturday, August 22, 2009
A personal poll on 'Obama in the White House' blog was taken over the last several months. 149 people entered the poll. The POLL QUESTION was How do you feel about the prior Bush Administration about torture? Did Bush break the law with his methods of torture?
In an overwhelming majority of blog voters, 102 people (68%) out of 149 total people, claim that Bush did break the law with his methods of torture. Only 38 people (25%) believe that he didn't break the law, and 9 people (6%) were undecided. Obviously, this is only a small sample of people, but the numbers prove one thing. A sampled majority of people believe that President Bush broke the law and used torture to get information out of his prisoners. Water-boarding and sleep degradation were at the top of the list. Prisoners were forced to say standing an extended period of time. The Bush rule was to use any kind of force as long as there was no proof of physical abuse to the prisoners. A follow-up article will follow this shortly.
