Poll: Majorities Favor Some Form Of Investigations Against Bush Administration
A significant plurality favor outright criminal probes, though they are not a majority.
Another portion prefer an independent investigation by a special panel:
Possible attempts to use Justice Dept. for political purposes: Criminal investigation, 41%; Investigation by independent panel, 30%; Neither, 25%Possible use of telephone wiretaps without a warrant: Criminal investigation, 38%; Investigation by independent panel, 25%; Neither, 34%
Possible use of torture in terror interrogations: Criminal investigation, 38%; Investigation by independent panel, 24%; Neither, 34%
TPM comments: Gallup leads in their analysis with the criminal-probe response being a minority, but this seems to miss the larger point: A majority clearly favor doing something to investigate the Bush Administration -- though exactly what the something should be is a whole other argument. But if there is any kind of option that can be characterized as way out there, it's the position that we should do nothing.
So, let's exploit this support, huh?
