In reporting about Olmert's offer you'll often see it stated that he proposed to annex 6.8% of the West Bank (except for Makovsky, who quotes a figure of 6.3%, which he just made up). Why 6.8% when the figure quoted in the documents (and in this post) is 8.7%? The 6.8% figure is the one used by Israel, achieved by ignoring East Jerusalem (on the basis that it Israeli territory). So all the journalists who repeated the 6.8% figure are effectively endorsing Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem, just because they can't be bothered to read the documents for themselves.
