Laura Bush, Where Were You?

I visited the White House website and noticed that the captions of the photographs chronicling the tour of the First Lady to the Temple Mount on May 22 state that the site is in the "Muslim Quarter".

This is incorrect.

The holy site as Mrs. Bush now knows, having physically been there, is in the Old City of Jerusalem, on an esplanade constructed on Mount Moriah. It is separated from the various neighborhoods (Jewish Quarter, Armenian Quarter and Christian Quarter) by a wall and exists as a distinct compound in and of itself.

I hope those responsible will instruct the web site managers to correct the wrong caption information.
