Brilliant Holmes, Just Brilliant

The polling maestros at Powerline say pish-posh to all the polls which state that Americans don't like Bush and co. spying on them without warrants. They don't like the wording of the questions, the demographics of the poll, yadda yadda yadda, but they did find something in one poll that they liked. Here's a question they looove the answer to:

In order to reduce the threat of terrorism, would you be willing or not willing to allow government agencies to monitor the telephone calls and e-mails of Americans that the government is suspicious of?

70% of Americans answered yes, and this just tickles their fancy, and of course this just proves that Americans really want a police state to protect them no matter what the cost. And of course they're completely of base. This is one of the most poorly written survey questions I have seen. No shit people want the govt to monitor suspected terrorist conversations and emails, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the controversey of Bush and co. spying on Americans without warrants. Warrants. Warrants. Warrants. That is the key word to any debate about domestic spying. No mention warrants=shitty and irrelevant poll. I'm no mysterypollster, but I take care of business.
