I know this has been beated to death but I thought if I worded the poll right people would realize how stupid they are being.

No, Saddam was already deemed guilty - he broke the terms of his probation But that is off-topic.

I was thinking more along the lines of the CIA thing, Rush, Cheney, and Arnold.

Innocent until proven guilty, no?

Yes, but ASSUMING innocence until proven guilty is different from DECLARING innocence for whatever crazy reason.

They don't declare innocence even after the facts come out, they just declare not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So he could still be guilty, just not beyond a reasonable doubt. That's why we presume innocent until proven guilty, because the onus isn't on Kobe to prove he's innocent, but on the accuser to prove he's guilty.
