My eyes are crossing too. It has taken me about 45 minutes to go back and read today's postings on this thread before I posted. I worked all day and it was super busy. I got a couple of little posts in but couldn't actually keep up. I was HEART SICK when I read that Greer had handed down that order even tho I EXPECTED as much. I guess my biggest disappointment is in Jeb Bush. He has always been one of my favorite Governors. Through this mess, and especially in the last months, I have lost ALL respect for him. I really believed that he would intervene by use of his Executive Authority. I don't believe for one minute that he thinks starving and dehydrating someone to death is RIGHT. I may send daily emails detailing how corrupt I feel the State is. That it is NOW a State I will NEVER visit again nor would I even recommend it. What a cesspool of corruption, conflicts of interest, dirty Law Enforcement, Dirty Politicians, likely graft and now OPENLY MURDERING an innocent girl and treating her worse than a family pet or a convicted serial killer on death row. My disgust is gutteral!! CO
There are Freepers working on connecting the corruption dots. The federal DoJ may be interested. Take heart, it's not over yet. And some Freepers have some VERY juicy dirt.
WND picked up the article that had been posted here yesterday from the Philly journalist who'd changed his mind about Terri, in which all the details we've been trying to get out, PRAYING would come out!, have finally "clicked" for him.

WND 2/26: Philly columnist changes mind on Terri Schiavo (details lead him to side with her parents) -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1351529/posts:
A Philadelphia Inquirer columnist who believes in the "right to die" has changed his mind about the Terri Schiavo case, pointing to "uncomfortable details" about her estranged husband that now lead him to side with the parents of the brain-damaged Florida woman, who are fighting to keep her alive.John Grogan said in a column published today, "I no longer so blithely believe Schiavo's feeding tubes should be pulled and her life allowed to end. I'm no longer so sure her parents do not deserve a say in their daughter's future. I no longer am totally comfortable assuming her husband, Michael, who now has two children by another woman, is acting unselfishly."
Michael Schiavo has been living with his fiance Jodi Centonze since 1995 and has said he will marry her upon the death of his wife.
Grogan said he hasn't changed his opinion that everyone has a right to "die with dignity," but he believes that in the Schiavo case, the "devil is in the details, uncomfortable details that raise sticky moral dilemmas."
Terri Schiavo suffered severe brain damage in 1990 after collapsing. Michael Schiavo attributes it to a chemical imbalance caused by an eating disorder, but parents Robert and Mary Schindler believe he may have tried to strangle her.
Michael Schiavo contends his wife told him she never would want to be kept alive artificially.
But Grogan points out Terri Schiavo's heart and lungs function on their own, and she requires only a feeding tube that might not be necessary if she were given physical therapy.
The columnist notes Michael Schiavo, as her legal guardian, has forbidden any therapy.
Go to TEJ see tag line. A NEW COALITION IS GOING TO HELP THE SCHINDLERS FIGHT FOR TERRI. They are a Justice Coalition, not faith based. They are having a press conference in Jax next week.
