I don't think we have enough time to wait for the wheels of justice. This has become a media war for the hearts and minds of those who might help Terri if they understood it. There's a very public war being fought by Felos in the media. In my opinion, he's nearly won the PR campaign. As you said, he IS delusional. He definitely has a messianic complex, and probably the so-called "charisma" to go with it...a la Jim Jones, or that guy that got all his cultists to commit suicide for the Hale Bopp comet.

The media needs feeding. Terri is becoming yesterday's news and is no longer sensational enough for them. I think a sensational argument can be made that George Felos is a cult leader, that Michael Schiavo is one of his disciples, and that he has made the Suncoast Hospice his personal vehicle to glory. Felos could easily be discredited by his own published book, and his own words therein. He could be made into a humiliated laughing stock, not unlike the UFO cultists who claimed to be pregnant with cloned babies.

This wouldn't require anyone in the media to choose whom to believe in what most of them consider to be a "he said/she said" dispute between Terri's family and Michael Schiavo. They could just read the relevant excerpts in Felos' own book and hold him accountable for his beliefs that God talks to him, that he has the power to crash airplanes with his mind, that he can do Vulcan mind melds with the souls of comatose patients who speak in his mind to tell him their wishes, etc.

I posted excerpts from Felos' book on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1006791/posts if anyone wants to pursue that.
