Just happened to be watching the Gonzalez confirmation hearings. Gonzales provided on c-span2 for Teddy Kennedy the definition of torture per U.S. Congress under the Medicaid Statutes. For Gonzales' exact remarks, I'll need to visit c-span 2 on line.

What he said Congress' definition of torture is UNDER MEDICAID goes beyond their discussion of AQ detainees.

Even being held in one room as Terri is, which is "inhumane" constitutes torture. Add the lack of rehabilitative therapy, the inhumane treatment of her parents and siblings, two attempted starvations and the closed blinds and door, taking her rehab monies away so she would be Medicaid eligible. MORE TORTURE, FRAUD AND ABUSE then I can put in one post.

Ping to my last post. The Medicaid fraud, abuse and torture claims are not new regarding Terri, but it was good today to have the President's appointee for US Attorney General provide the US Congress' definition of torture under Medicaid for us on c-span 2.

Ping to my recent posts. Under the Medicaid Provisions and the US Congress' definition of torture, Terri is being tortured.

Was there any doubt???

FLORIDUH WROTE: "What he [AG Nominee Gonzales] said Congress' definition of torture is UNDER MEDICAID goes beyond their discussion of AQ detainees.

FLORIDUH ADDED: "Even being held in one room as Terri is, which is "inhumane" constitutes torture. Add the lack of rehabilitative therapy, the inhumane treatment of her parents and siblings, two attempted starvations and the closed blinds and door, taking her rehab monies away so she would be Medicaid eligible.
