Do you honestly think that if that's what the documents say they will ever be reported in the news?

[xzins]

I think that if they make a big enough noise about DCF not releasing the documents, that the public interest could be piqued.

Yes. I'm not saying that many news outlets will run the story, but the station(s) that petitioned for the report in the first place will run whatever they get. Then, it may be up to freepers to get the word out to the larger public. At some point, the mainstream press (reluctantly) will pick up the latest developments in the case, if only to shield themselves from accusations of bias. I find this fact hopeful: the NYTimes, which from the start has been in favor of pulling Terri's tubes, used to write that Terri was in "a persistent vegetative state"; now, the Times calls Terri a "severely disabled woman". Are the Times's motives for switching noble? No way, but it's good news nonetheless.

I haven't been able to get a ping out about it yet, but there was a good link on the March thread. I'm searching to see if someone has posted the article as a thread yet.

Just to get y'all up to date, here's the link to the article:

and the link to the DCF document:

Now that this is getting more light on it, Greer may just have to go along with the DCF. If he refuses to give Terri at least a 60-day stay, he is keeping a government agency from doing its mandated job. Michael should be in the hot seat pretty soon here.

I have a sneaky feeling that Greer will release all the documents in order to give Michael Schiavo and his cronies the opportunity to refute every one of the charges IN PUBLIC.

P.S. I REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM is a great program of the NRA.
