Laura was going to Afghanistan for ages it seems like. She talked and talked about it and looked forward to it and planned and planned. Way in advance, it was planned she would go if they could secure her safety. And you say she was sent by President Bush in reaction to the courts behavior against Terri? I trust you are questioning the symbolism you took from her making the trip at that time. I trust you don't believe he literally sent her there in reaction to Terri's horrible plight.
There is a horrible picture of Laura though taken when she was asked about Terri upon arrival in Afghanistan. A picture is worth a thousand words. I don't know how they can sleep at night. Federal Marshalls could have saved Terri. Terri was murdered by state decree. Pretending to do everything humanly possible to save someone isn't the same as actually saving them.
The wife of the chief executive makes the news with the trip to Afghanistan.
The chief executive packs for Rome.
The most powerful man on earth bows to a county probate judge bent on murdering one of "our most vulnerable citizens".
But God forbid the "vigilantes" (his word) should take a picture of an invader with a gag T-shirt.
The image is that of impotence and misplaced concern, not for the welfare of a citizen, but for that of an invader.
