Poll: 49% feel misled on Iraq war rationale

Almost half of Hawai'i residents think the Bush administration misled the American people about the rationale for the Iraqi war, and most don't think the world is any safer because of it, according to the latest Honolulu Advertiser Hawai'i Poll.

The poll found that 49 percent of those surveyed felt the American people were misled about the reasons for the war. Only 40 percent said they thought they were provided correct information about the reasons for the war, and 11 percent said they did not know whether they were misled.

Fifty-six percent said they didn't believe the war made the world safer for the United States.

"I didn't believe them from the start of the war, and nothing I've seen since then has changed my mind," said Karren Sayre, a 51-year-old mother and entrepreneur living in the Puna district of the Big Island.
