    ALBANY, N.Y. -- One third of New Yorkers favor establishing internment 
    camps for "individuals who authorities identify as being sympathetic to 
    terrorist causes," according to a poll from the Siena College Research 
    Institute.
    
    Fifty percent of those surveyed for the statewide poll said they were 
    opposed to that idea while 15 percent had no opinion.
    
    The telephone poll of 610 New York state residents over age 18 was 
    conducted from Sept. 12, the day after the terrorist attacks on the World

    margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
