"First lady Laura Bush was met by protesters as she visited two of Jerusalem’s holiest sites Sunday. Mrs. Bush, who is on a Middle Eastern tour meant, in part, to help defuse anti-American sentiment, placed a note in the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest shrine. She wrote the note on the plane to Jerusalem, but told reporters she wanted to keep its contents private.
A group of women studying inside the mosque were clearly annoyed at the intrusion and waved their fingers at the U.S. entourage. Despite the chaos at both sites, Mrs. Bush kept smiling and did not say much.
At the Western Wall, dozens of protesters stood nearby, shouting, “Free Pollard now.” Jonathan Pollard is serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison for spying for Israel.
The first lady was mobbed by protesters and local reporters, and Secret Service agents and guards had to physically hold back the crowd as she approached the wall."
