I know *just* what you mean. I mean, all you guys have done is pass the Military Commissions Act, and there have a been a few delays and body searches, and a few incidents like Arar's case, and people are actually beginning to notice and react.

Well, I'll give you what information I have and you can see if you can hunt down the methodology. This is what the articles say: "The survey, of 2,011 international travelers in 16 countries, was conducted by RT Strategies, a Virginia-based polling firm, for the Discover America Partnership, a group launched in September with multimillion-dollar backing from a range of companies that include the InterContinental Hotels Group, Anheuser Busch and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts." What is the reputation of RT Strategies? Given the client list, I'd assume that the company has a good reputation in the market and knows what it is doing.
