SECURITY FENCE HYPOCRISY

Wall Papers (BackSpin)

After all the negative publicity Israel's security fence received, editors should be blushing over the descriptions of a wall the US wanted to build around a Sunni enclave in Baghdad. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki halted construction, but not before we spotted the following headlines.

* Philadelphia Inquirer:

Sunnis denounce neighborhood wall

* Scotland on Sunday:

Alarm as US builds Baghdad safety wall

* And our favorite, courtesy the Washington Post:

'Gated Communities' For the War-Ravaged

Can anyone possibly imagine Israel's security fence getting such glowing headlines?
