muscadineAccording to the Knight Ridder poll results on this page:
"As far as you know, how many of the September 11th terrorist hijackers were Iraqi citizens: most of them, some of them, just one, or none?"
Most of them 21%
Some of them 23%
Just one 6%
None 17%
Don't know 33%
The scary part being that this obviously is a factor in the support for war with Iraq, and so support is based in part on the fact that (1)people don't have and/or can't be bothered to find out the facts and (2)our media and government appear to want to keep it that way.
On the positive side, even with this misinformation the poll results seem to indicate people favor UN actions and diplomatic resolution rather than unilateral USA actions and war.
