This is sickening. Large numbers of Americans support the use of extremely coercive methods (electric shocks, threatening relatives) against terrorist "suspects". I'm going to just pray they weren't paying close attention to the wording of the question. Given how little it might take to be labeled a "suspect" (have a particular name, driving down a certain street at a particular time), well if these numbers are accurate lots of Americans would appear to be perfectly willing to live in an abusive police state.
