But the tragedy has been blown into an international cause clbre with legal impediments that prevent the poor woman from resting in peace.

Oh, brother! They want the "poor woman" to be starved to death and they call that resting in peace. Sheeeeesh.

The term "cause celebre" always make me think of the Sacco and Vanzetti case of the 1920s, when a group of intellectuals, including the popular poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, petitioned to free the Italian-American anarchist pair. They were still electrocuted in MA, of all places. Ballistic tests later proved their guilt, but many liberals still site S&V as an example of the failures of American "justice."

But what is Terri guilty of? Marrying the wrong man is all that I can come up with. Now if she were a terrorist, she might have a chance yet.
