It's W-all over now (when isn't it?)

Al Qaeda in Lebanon and Gaza, Sharon Says
(In passing words, the story notes:)
The government <of> said Mr. Sharon
had given the go-ahead for <of>
further construction of a security fence
in northern Israel to wall off
Israeli residents from militants
<as if no Israeli were a militant>
trying to enter Israel from the West Bank
<as if all militants are on West Bank>.

******************************************* 

An iron curtain is an iron curtain,
whether it walls people in or out;
one-sided walls keep people apart.

Segregation's ugly race shows no face.

******************************************

Can news be reported without bias?
Should news say what is not said
so that, when no news is good news,
at least its evil can be exposed,
in part, right then and there,
for the evil that it actually is,
when something happens to people,
a something that we call government,
as if such an entrenched euphemism
were the greatest racial prejudice?


Thanks for listening,
Donald L Emerick
