Laura Bush promotes women's rights on Middle East tour

Laura Bush met with the wife of Israel’s president today, as part of a Middle East tour meant to promote women’s rights and help defuse growing anti-American sentiment in the region.

Outside the residence of President Moshe Katsav in Jerusalem, about two dozen demonstrators chanted for the release of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, who is serving a life sentence in a US prison. “Pollard, the people are with you,” the group chanted.
