LAST WORD: Looks like Aljazeera wants a piece
A poll conducted recently on the website of Qatari satellite network Aljazeera has enraged Algerians, who feel the question advocated terrorism. The poll, which ran on the site from December 12th-15th, asked the question, "Do you support al-Qaeda's attacks in Algeria?"Now, despite the fact that somebody here obviously needs a little remedial arithmetic... when nearly 60 percent of those polled say... "Sure, bomb the shit out of our country, we don't care"... you've gotta suspect innumeracy may not be their biggest problem.
The results of the poll -- which appeared just one day after two terrorist bombings in Algiers left 41 dead and 177 wounded-- were startling: of more than 30,000 respondents 57.7% said they did support the attacks, while 45.3% said they did not.
