COLLINS: Rising death toll in Turkey from a couple of weekend bombings. This is video of the blast in Istanbul. This morning, another death brings the death toll to 17. A Turkish news agency reporting more than 150 people injured. The two blasts, about 10 minutes apart in the same pedestrian square that lots of tourists and residents use. Istanbul's governor calls the explosions act of terror. So far, no claims of responsibility. A controversy in Israel involving the U.S. Democratic presidential candidate. During his visit there last week, Barack Obama stopped at Jerusalem's ancient western wall. It is a tradition to write a prayer and then leave it in one of the wall's cracks. Obama did that. Now, an Israeli newspaper has published what it says is the prayer. The paper says it got the note from a seminary student. The rabbi in charge of the wall says, taking Obama's note amounts to desecration of the holy site. He calls the action sacreligious. The note, also published in the "New York Post." So, what do you think? Should the media publish the contents of Obama's note? Earlier, we asked for your e-mails. And here's what some of them say. Susan says, "I'm outraged by the sinful actions of the individual who stole Obama's note. I visited the Wailing Wall and felt that my note was between God and myself." Rachel writes, "That is just the same as your high school rival breaking into your room, stealing a diary and publishing everything in the newspaper." Terry says, "Sneak a mic into the confessional maybe you will find juicy story there also. Unbelievable! No respectable news organization should publish the contents of his personal prayer." And Chris writes, "The press has gotten too involved in every little mundane detail of Barack Obama's trip. How much does leaving a note at the Wailing Wall have to do with how he will facilitate the country?" Continue to e-mail us at CNN NEWSROOM at CNN.com. And thanks for those. New York, feeling the love for the mustache. Is it the sign of a comeback?
