As George Bush today revealed what many thought had been the case - that the CIA had been operating "secret" detention centres where it held people and interrogated them there - The Independent reveals the following today:
"A serious blow has been dealt to George Bush's foreign policy as a poll showed that Americans and Europeans reject the US President's pursuit of the "war on terror". For the first time in its five-year existence, the Transatlantic Trends opinion poll found that more Americans opposed President Bush's handling of international affairs 58 per cent than approved 40 per cent. On both sides of the Atlantic those polled increasingly prefer "soft power" measures to promote democracy."
Maybe someone should take George Bush & Co. aside and tell them that whatever they are sprouting is totally at odds with the realities in the world.
