CAMERA Prompts USA Today Correction on West Bank Barrier

USA Today had erroneously reported that Israel’s West Bank security barrier surrounds the entire city of Bethlehem. CAMERA staff has prompted the following correction, which appeared in Friday’s paper:
 
Error (USA Today, Martin Patience, 12/14/05): The terminal at the entrance to Bethlehem, a city that is surrounded by a 24-foot-high concrete barrier. . .

Correction (1/6/06): A Dec. 14 story about new Israeli security facilities should have said a 24-foot-high barrier separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem, but does not surround the entire town.
