This was an already scheduled event for the formal receiving of this report. He did NOT go into the Intelligence Report as a way to avoid talking about Terri Schiavo! He ADDED remarks about her death!
For goodness sake, had he had this appearance and not said anything, some of you would be griping about that, too!
Tom DeLay released a very interesting statement, which I am going to see if I can post. I think Judge Greer and the federal judge should be very nervous.
DeLay Statement on Terri Schiavo

SUGAR LAND, Texas, March 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) today released the following statement mourning the passing of Terri Schiavo:
"Mrs. Schiavo's death is a moral poverty and a legal tragedy. This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most, and that will change. The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today. Today we grieve, we pray, and we hope to God this fate never befalls another. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Schindlers and with Terri Schiavo's friends in this time of deep sorrow."
