Is Algeria right to help the Gaddafis?
The former Libyan leader's wife and three of his children have been given refuge in Algeria.
It is a move anti Gaddafi fighters have condemned. Meanwhile Algeria's UN envoy Mourad Benmehidi has defended the decision saying that in the desert region there is a "holy rule of hospitality".
How do you think the families of notorious leaders be treated?

Sooner or later, they will be crying out: "TERRORISTS." For sure, Gaddafi has more than a million supporters and some of them will not rest until they get at America, France and Britain. Ageria, please send the Gaddafi's back.
