It is the most complete so far.

Here's part of the article:

"But as along as there is controversy in the case of Terri Schiavo, guardian Jay Wolfson is asking to remain on the case in hopes of settling the fight between her husband, her parents and the governor, the report said.

He also recommended that swallowing tests be conducted on Terri, to see if she would be able to eat on her own.

Wolfson, the University of South Florida professor appointed by a judge last month to investigate the case, had attempted to broker a settlement between Michael Schiavo, the governor and his in-laws in their battle over the fate of Terri Schiavo, the report said. But on Sunday the negotiations broke down and no agreement could be reached.

Wolfson had been charged with gathering evidence to support whether the stay enacted by Bush blocking the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube should remain in effect.

Bush was moved by Terri Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, to stop Michael Schiavo from ending his wife's life in October. Her parents have contended their 39-year-old daughter is disabled, but still hears and reacts to them.

Bush said Tuesday nothing in the report has changed his mind that it was right to keep Terri Schiavo alive.

"I see nothing in the report that changes any feelings I have about whether or not the stay should be lifted," Bush said, adding he respected Wolfson's effort. "I don't believe that's appropriate.

Bush said he agreed with the assessment that Terri undergo swallowing tests.

"That's the good news part of this," he said.

Wolfson said in his report that as long as controversy exists in the case, an independent guardian whose only charge is to look out for Terri Schiavo's interest should be appointed to represent her. Michael Schiavo currently serves as his wife's guardian."

I hope they don't have her drugged up for the swallowing tests.
