Poll question: Who would you trust re: Abu Ghraib?
Who would you tend to believe if both of these individuals were coming at you with opposite viewpoints and claims regarding who is guilty at Abu Ghraib?

Lynndie England?
Or Donald Rumsfeld?

Whom would you prefer to put your faith in?
Whom is less despicable?
Whom would have less reason to lie to you?

1. You need to add...
neither and one that says the victim then I can answer, otherwise I can't because I wouldn't believe either of them.

2. And there's the rub!
The poll is supposed to be tough. If I put "neither", we already know which way that vote would go. I want a poll, not a circle-jerk.

4. Umm then I will not vote.
Neither of your options represents me.

3. England. Only because I cannot picture
enlisted personnel acting on their own. However, I can't actually picture myself obeying an order to get sick for the cause and probably would have been in trouble anyway.

5. Both would seem to bear some guilt
so it would be difficult to say which is more credible. Although it isn't listed, put me down as believing the Red Cross - who is probably the story that is most truthful (although their access was undoubtedly restricted).

6. Neither....they both have a stake in not looking any worse
than they already do.
