LIFE AND DEATH TUG OF WAR
Terri's death wish or Michael's?
Schiavo contradicts himself in Larry King interview

Michael Schiavo gave contradictory stories about whether disconnecting his estranged wife from feeding tubes was his wish or her wish in a Larry King interview on CNN.

Asked why he has persisted in his decade-long effort to end his wife's life despite the wishes of Terri Schiavo's parents and others who love her, Schiavo said: "Because this is what Terri wanted. This is her wish."

"I won't give it up," he said. "Terri is my life. I'm going to carry out her wishes to the very end. This is what she wanted. It's not about the Schindlers. It's not about me, not about Congress. It's about Terri."

Schiavo has been living with another woman for the last 10 years and is raising two children with her.

Under mysterious and still unexplained circumstances, Terri Schiavo lost consciousness and blood flow to her brain for a period of time some 15 years ago. Her parents suspect foul play.

While she remains conscious, she is unable to speak. The family says she has been denied treatments that could help her regain the ability to eat and speak.

Shortly after saying his determination to end Terri's life was about her wishes, Schiavo changed his story in the King interview. Asked if he understood her family's feelings, he said: "Yes, I do. But this is not about them, it's about Terri. And I've also said that in court. We didn't know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want. ..."

The interview aired Friday.

"We didn't know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want. ..."

I need to hear from someone who carefully heard him talk. Some people are claiming that he was 'role-playing' what Terri's parents were saying/would say. But that would mean his tone changed. Otherwise, he should be tried for perjury. FReegards....

WOW. Thanks for the ping!

Who was it that caught this in the LKL transcript and reposted it to its own thread -- was that you supercat? or FLe? Good work -- it was on World Net Daily 8 pm yesterday.

Prayers for the judge who will be hearing Terri's case at 3 pm, appointed in 1999 by then-pres Bill Clinton. God, give him a wisdom and perception beyond his own, and an understanding of Your Holiness over all, regardless of anything he has believed before this time.

Hi, AnimalLover -- I meant to ping you also to my #138 which confirms that in my videotape of 3/18 LKL it is VERY clear, without question, that this is exactly what Michael Schiavo says: "We didn't know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want..." Then pauses.

Too bad Nancy Grace wasn't there.

I'm sure WND checked this out themselves, anyway.
