I read about the second attack this morning (euro time) on the hps of the two european warfairing countries national broadcasting institutions (news.bbc.com and www.dr.dk) but had to look deep into another article on CNN to find anything on it. So my theory was that most hadn´t heard of the second attack (which costed about 50 life) and would answer around 15-20 (the number of dead from the first atack.
Guess I had too low expectations of the information level of my fellow AI´ers.

Damn My theory has been partly debunked.
Kinda unfair to ask a bunch of people coming off of late Friday night festivities and subsequent hangovers. Checked the local paper this morning and the 50-ish figure was the one in print.
I mean who are we going to trust?
1. Our Media?
2. Al Jazeera??
3. Iraqi TV???
Let me know. I'm clueless.
Go to a UK site if you're really concerned about US-Gestapo stomping around in CNN's newsroom.

Isn't this at least the third time you've played this game? You tried it once with two different plane crashes in different countries and then there was something else one other time as well.

I would say that Western media is far superior credibility-wise than al-Jazeera or anything from Iraq.
