“39 percent of the Americans who supported torture told the ICRC they ‘didn’t realize my country had agreed to ban torture’ as a signatory to the Geneva Conventions. The ICRC study is not the first to establish Americans’ increasing tolerance for torture in recent years. A Pew Research Center study in February found that 58 percent of Americans think the torture of suspected terrorists can be justified. Of 38 nations surveyed, only five countries have a higher tolerance for torturing suspected terrorists, the Pew study found: Uganda (78 percent), Lebanon (72 percent), Israel (62 percent), Kenya (62 percent) and Nigeria (61 percent).”
