A Washington Post headline today distorted what Israel's Prime Minister Sharon said, referring the security barrier. The Post chose to print in large type, "Bombing Underscores Need for Wall, Sharon says".  The Post is engaging in propaganda. Sharon never used the term "Wall," a term with far uglier connotations than "fence," the actual word the PM used.
 
For example, see the NY Times report.
 
A bomb exploded next to a Tel Aviv bus stop, killing a female soldier and wounding about 20 Israelis today. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called for Israel to respond by pressing ahead with the ``terrorism—prevention fence''  [emphasis added] that an international court ruled illegal just two days earlier.
