Americans Question Bush on 9/11 Intelligence

* NYT/CBS poll:
"Americans Question Bush on 9/11 Intelligence

Many adults in the United States believe the current federal government has not been completely forthcoming on the issue of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to a poll by the New York Times and CBS News. 53 per cent of respondents think the Bush administration is hiding something, and 28 per cent believe it is lying.

Only 16 per cent of respondents say the government headed by U.S. president George W. Bush is telling the truth on what it knew prior to the terrorist attacks, down five points since May 2002."
I was going to say 'wow - it's amazing that they even asked the question' - but I see that they even asked the question in May 2002. So the question probably is why it isn't a story that for four years only 20% of people believe the official story.

(i was also going to make a joke about the headline, but...)
