Apparently, it's confirmed that the Pope MAY be given a feeding tube:

VATICAN CITY -- Pope John Paul II may have to return to the hospital to have a feeding tube inserted, an Italian news agency reported Tuesday. It stressed that no decision had been made.

The APcom news agency, citing an unidentified source, said the 84-year-old pope might have to have the tube inserted to improve his nutrition since he is having difficulty swallowing with the breathing tube that was inserted Feb. 24.

APcom said the idea of inserting a feeding tube was a hypothesis that was being considered. The procedure involves inserting a tube into the stomach to allow for artificial feeding.

Sean H saying that Ariana Huffington has written a column that Bill Clinton had a behind the scenes hands-off stance on Terri's situation and got that message out to the dims...

This is why the dims have not been more out-spoken.
