我和大多數人的想法一致,這樣的觀點與趨勢不知是否和大俠的擔憂有關聯。把今天的新聞放上來,元芳,你說呢?
Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe torture can be
justified to extract information from suspected terrorists, according to a
Reuters/Ipsos poll, a level of support similar to that seen in countries like
Nigeria where militant attacks are common.
The poll reflects a U.S. public on edge after the massacre
of 14 people in San Bernardino in December and large-scale attacks in Europe in
recent months, including a bombing claimed by the militant group Islamic State
last week that killed at least 32 people in Belgium.
Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2016 Republican
presidential nomination, has forcefully injected the issue of whether terrorism
suspects should be tortured into the election campaign.
Trump has said he would seek to roll back President Barack
Obama's ban on waterboarding - an interrogation technique that simulates
drowning that human rights groups contend is illegal under the Geneva
Conventions. Trump has also vowed to "bring back a hell of a lot
worse" if elected.
Most Americans are more concerned about security and
defeating the Islamic State than they are about privacy rights, a new Morning
Consult poll finds.
A whopping 71% of respondents said they supported requiring
companies like Facebook, Apple and Google to give law enforcement access to
their personal information. And 76% want those companies to assist in
terror-related investigations. Two-thirds want them to turn over information so
the government can identify and monitor potential terrorists.
Those numbers belie tech companies』 recent stances against
providing such information after federal authorities asked Apple to help them
get into an iPhone used by a San Bernardino shooter. The Department of Justice
dropped its request Monday after finding another way to access the phone.
The Morning Consult poll, which surveyed voters in the days
following the terror attacks in Brussels last week, also found half of
Americans support temporarily banning foreign Muslim from entering the United
States, a move espoused by Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
And 49% support
stepped up patrols of Muslim neighborhoods, which Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has
recommended.
The balance between privacy and security has become a
flashpoint in recent months as Republican candidates have proposed more
intrusive methods to thwart attacks.
Here are some other interesting findings from the poll:
•
78% support an added layer of security outside airports
•
75% support increasing funding for the Transportation Security Administration
•
84% support increased training for TSA agents
•
81% back increasing funding for background checks on airport workers
