The "controversial security fence"

Dear Alan Rusbridger, Editor

“A small step towards peace” (Leader, The Guardian, Tuesday, March 28, 2006) reads:

"Most" is a key word here. Mr Olmert has signalled his readiness to abandon the smaller settlements deep in the West Bank, though not the larger ones - inside the controversial "security fence" - that have become an extension of the urban sprawl of expanded Jewish Jerusalem.

There is nothing “controversial” in what you called “security fence”.

“The International Court of Justice issued an advisory ruling in 2004 that the barrier breached international law where it is built on occupied territory and should be dismantled.” (“Israel 'to keep major settlement'”, BBC News website, Tuesday, 14 March 2006)

Please, will you publish a formal correction?

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
Gabriele Zamparini
