<<< History teaches us that the Big Lie usually works, at least in the short run. The recent polls showing public support for the war in the United States has jumped to 70 to 75 percent are discouraging. But a cross-tabulated analysis of recent polls on Iraq by Allen Barton -- one of the parents of public opinion research and the former head of Columbia University's Bureau of Applied Social Research -- and distributed over the weekend on the list-serv of the Association of American Public Opinion Researchers -- explains those numbers. Barton's study showed "20 to 35 percent higher support of the war among those who believe Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 terror attack, which is clearly a false belief, and 15 to 25 percent higher support among those who believe he gave 'direct' or 'substantial' support to Al Qaeda, which is a belief for which evidence is entirely lacking." If Americans were being told the truth, public support for the war would be significantly less. >>> tompaine.com
