Unoriginality, at least

Now, I don't claim that the Washington Post reads my travel blog, but note the similarity here between their discussion of the US border "fence" and my comments on the Israeli occupation wall (March 24, 2005):

Unfortunately, the Post's article talks all about walls, and doesn't even mention Israel, the land of borders, walls, and fences. Writing about walls isn't really quite as effective when you hide behind them.
