Following the discussion about radstats response to the attacks on
Palestinian Stats Bureau, listmembers may be interested in this.
Those with more details about the attacks could perhaps email Rene Bekkers
with the information.

>>Dear Colleagues,
>>I read in a letter to the London review of books that the Palestinian
>>Bureau of Statistics, partially funded by the European Union, had
>>been sacked by the Israeli army, in one of their so-called
>>anti-terrorist retaliations. It is hard to guess how statistics are
>>involved in terrorism, and I would be grateful if anyone could give
>>more detailed information on this incident to the list; once more
>>details are known, I wonder if it would not be proper that the
>>European Sociological Association should voice a formal protest not
>>towards Israeli government's general policy (which is not within the
>>range of a professional association), but towards what seems a
>>gratuitous attack against one fundamental basis of a scientific
>>knowledge of society.
>>Sincerely,
