Actually, it was just the New York Times article that was misleading. The actual Gallup press release is more accurate.
Some soldiers have said that U.S. military intelligence officers ordered the soldiers to "soften up" prisoners for interrogation. About 7 in 10 Americans also blame these officers.
Bingo. Why did the Times neglect to mention that aspect when reporting that the majority of Americans feel the soldiers were not acting under orders?
