Quick Rants...

S.F. Mother Placed on Suicide Watch

This is the excuse for a human life who tossed her three children from a bridge because voices were demanding it. Watch, schmatch, take the bitch back to the same bridge and see just how much she really wants to die.

My Way News U.S. Denies Feeding Tube Misuse at Gitmo

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - "The chief doctor at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay denied allegations by hunger striking prisoners that feeding tubes have been misused as a form of punishment, according to an affidavit released Thursday.

In a statement filed in federal court in Washington, Dr. John Edmondson said that only doctors or nurses are allowed to remove or insert feeding tubes and they use a lubricant and offer an anesthetic to the hunger striking prisoner to ease any pain.

The handling of the hunger striking prisoners "equals or exceeds the standard of care available at accredited hospitals in the United States," Edmondson, a Navy captain, said in the affidavit.
His statement was a response to affidavits filed with the court from defense lawyers, who said that prisoners held at the U.S. base in eastern Cuba alleged that troops force-fed them with dirty feeding tubes and violently inserted and withdrew the tubes as punishment."

So they need to be fed from a tube? Well then, we really DO need to get the military out of this as it's Page 1, Item 1, in the terrorist handbook to claim brutality whenever possible.

We should send them to a private nursing home, complete with adequate security arrangements of course, and I've just the place in mind. You may have read about it. It's in New Orleans. They treat their patients. Well. Come hell or high water.
