A Majority Of Americans Believe Enhanced Interrogation Methods Were Justified

From a new Gallup poll,

One of the key findings of this Gallup Poll is that a majority of Americans in retrospect believe the use of harsh interrogation techniques by the Bush administration was justified. Some of those who believe the techniques were justified still believe that an investigation into what transpired would be appropriate, but when all is said and done, just a bare majority of 51% of Americans support an investigation, while 42% oppose it...Notably, a majority of those following the news about this matter "very closely" oppose an investigation and think the methods were justified.
