Good start but I think you should add a little detail I founs whole reading an article about the hospice where Terri was nearly dehydrated to death. It turns out that it is a violation of FEDERAL LAW to even admit a NON TERMINAL CASE no matter how disabled they might be to hospice care.

Somewhere in this mountain of information, CS, is the fact that Terri was admitted to Hospice under the direction of George Felos, Attorney for Michael Schiavo. The esteemed attorney, at the time of Terri's "hospitalization," was a member of the Board of Directors of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast. He resigned sometime after.

From Post #2079 on the thread "Gov. Bush Calls Special Session," CNN reported: "The Hospice is caring for Schiavo free of charge."

So ... no rehab for Terri during this time, but the information is that Judge Greer okayed the use of Terri's rehab money for attorney fees, and then later, the armed guards keeping Terri's family at bay, were paid for with funds from her trust.

It was listed on his website that James King, Florida Senate President, is a member of the Florida Hospice Board. As a Board member, would he be aware of the plight of Terri Schiavo? Would he be aware that hospice was paying the bill? Were he and George Felos Board members at the same time? It was reported that James King would NOT permit Terri's Bill to be debated in the Senate, but changed his mind 24 hours later. Perhaps he's conflicted about something.

Much more will be written about this, CS, in the days ahead. Another interesting angle is that Felos might have had some input into the Florida law that allowed tube feeding to be withdrawn from persistent, vegetative cases. It's interesting to note that the Esteemed Attorney kept referring to Terri as vegetative ~ hotly denied by her family ~ but that designation gave the okay to remove the tube.

Praise God for His intervention ~ the Lord moved mountains to protect this innocent child from an ironclad attempt to end her life
