Basically, Michael claims that Terri's father Bob Schindler wanted to cut off Terri's arms and legs.

But that is taken out of context - Bob Schindler said that if Terri developed gangrene, he would ask that the infected limbs be amputated.

Maybe the title should Lies, Sex, and Video...

He was so eager to kill his own wife and the country seemed to back his decision and was angry at the parents for seeking to save their own child. He got what he wanted and he's still not happy.

I already knew this and Michael has always distorted the truth. He is a liar, always was! He didn't like the fact that terris parents would amputate if she was faced with gangrene or something like that, but he sure did love seeing her starve to death! SICk twisted SOB!

In the interview, Michael responds to Lauer asking why he would not just divorce Terri - since he was already living with another woman with whom he had fathered children - leaving Terri with her own parents who were begging to be allowed to care for her. Michael answered, "When you sit in a courtroom and you hear her father say I'll cut her arms and her legs off, just to keep her alive, why would I want to put their daughter back in their care if he's gonna (sic) do that to her."

Cindy Sheehan offered to whack her son with the family car to mangle his legs to keep him out of service yet no one is allowed to be critical of her relationship with her son.

I don't think Michael Schiaov will ever be happy. IN fact I suspect his book will do terrible and he will once again be angry that people don't understand him and don't like him!

At another point in the interview, Lauer asks, "People have often asked. Michael why didn't you divorce Terri, you were living with Jodi." Schiavo replies, "Why do I have to divorce Terri? Terri wasn't like a football- an inanimate object you pass back and forth. She was my wife. You mean because your wife gets sick, do you give her back?"

Michael had ALREADY abandoned his wife to commit adultery (or bigamy). She would be given BACK to those who brought her into this world and had HER best interests at stake. Terri was a goldmine to this leech.

Of course you don't give her back, Michael, you kill her instead. Right?

Uh, Michael tried to make EXACTLY that case. That she had no mental facilities and was not responsive to anything. Didn't feel any pain, etc.

"Yeah, well I guess when it all boiled down, I couldn't understand why these people were so passionate about my life"

We didn't give a flip about your life, you selfish SOB. We were disgusted that in the absence of a signed contract you had authority to claim a living will over the wishes of her parents. Your ties to being her "legal guardian" were shaky at best as you had abandoned the marriage to shack up with a more functional wife.

Felon's guilt.

If his wife was a burden, he could have divorced her and left her to her parents care and been happy living with his second wife. It wasn't that hard a choice. He could have a man about it instead of making her family look like the villains in what followed.

Asked about his decision to remove Terri's feeding tube despite the pleas of Americans, groups from around the world and even the Vatican, Schiavo said, "Yeah, well I guess when it all boiled down, I couldn't understand why these people were so passionate about my life...

Don't flatter yourself, you jerk. We were passionate about Terri's life, wanting her to live out her life with her parents and siblings.

That is what I will never understand? Her parents and siblings loved her and would have taken care of her the rest of her life. Why couldn't he just walk away and get on with his life?

And then the headstone, now the book. He will NEVER give this family any peace. It is beyond callous.

Exactly, so why can't we just put CA death row inmates in a drug induced coma and just starve them to death. It was good enough for Terri!
