A Moral Majority?

A USA Today poll shows that a majority of Americans believe forceful and threatening interrogation techniques are "wrong." Americans believe the following methods to be "wrong":

• "Forcing prisoners to remain naked and chained in uncomfortable positions in cold rooms for several hours" (79%)
  
• "Having female interrogators make physical contact with Muslim men during religious observances that prohibit such contact" (85%)
  
• "Threatening to transfer prisoners to a country known for using torture" (62%)
  
• "Threatening prisoners with dogs" (69%)
  
• "Strapping prisoners on boards and forcing their heads underwater until they think they are drowning" (82%)
  

Americans were more evenly divided on the morality of using extended sleep deprivation. USA Today has further analysis.
