Should we pull out now?

Sometimes I get upset about the way the media reports things. I have a hard time believing their polls and quotes and so on. I would love to know which troops Zogby interviewed to get these results:
More than 70 percent of US troops now in Iraq want American troops withdrawn in 2006, according to a [...]

More on Cory Maye

I recently wrote about drug war victim Cory Maye, who is on death row because he dared to defend himself when police officers broke into his house.
