Agreed. It would be ironic, however, if they are arguing over what was really the western wall of the Roman legionary camp rather than that of the Temple.

I hear you. The Dome sits on the ground of Fort Antonio. Apparently our self-described "literalists" don't have any faith in their own hermeneutic.
Mark 13:2 And Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
Then they point to the Wailing Wall and claim that it is the site of the Temple. Last time I checked, the wall in question was quite high with stones stacked up one upon another. So the Premillennial Dysfunctionalists are in a bit of a dilemma, either our LORD lied and got the prophecy wrong (which has its own prophetical interpretation problems inherent in that idea), the "literal" approach doesn't apply in what is plainly a statement to be read literally, or that site is not the temple site.
I pick the last option. The temple area is that torn up spot just south of the current Done of the Rock.
