A new poll commissioned by the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Government has found that 92 percent of Iraqis consider the US an occupying force. More than half believe all Americans behave like those portrayed in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse photos. And 55 percent reported they would feel safer if US troops immediately left. As for the so-called handover of power on June 30, 63 percent of Iraqis believe conditions will improve. The AP obtained a copy of the study which the US was not planning to release to the public.
