... I wonder how you say "household" in Arabic? If Iraqi poll respondents thought of their cousins as members of their "household," that would explain why so many of them had lost "household members" to car bombs.
Note that I have no ideological dog in this fight; this just seems to me an obvious potential problem in interpreting the survey results.
