THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER ISSUE WITH THE POLITICAL CLASSES: Washington Post: That big CIA ‘torture’ report? Americans just shrugged. “The poll shows people says 51-29 percent than the CIA’s methods were justified and 56-28 percent that the information gleaned helped prevent terror attacks. . . . And it’s not just that people who aren’t concerned about torture aren’t tuning in. Those who have followed the story the most, in fact, approve of the program 59-34 percent. Even Democrats are pretty split on the justification for the program. While 37 percent say it was justified, 46 percent say it wasn’t. Liberal Democrats disapprove 65-25 percent, but moderate and conservative Democrats approve 48-32 percent.”

Hey, lots of people watched 24, so it’s all Hollywood-approved.
