World Net Daily is back up and running!


Excerpt:

A federal judge at noon Eastern today will hold an emergency hearing requested by the Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities, a nonprofit group charged with defending the rights of disabled persons.
Regarded as the "big dog" in advocacy for the disabled, the center receives the bulk of its funding through five federal programs.
Yesterday the center filed a two-page complaint in federal court in Tampa, stating it had compelling information and evidence that Theresa Marie Schiavo is a past and present victim of abuse and neglect, and that as a group they are mandated to investigate such charges.
But to do this it is imperative Terri lives long enough for them to do their investigation, and they intend to start immediately.
The center is asking U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday of the Middle District of Florida for an injunction to keep Michael Schiavo from interfering in their investigation and an order to immediately resume Terri's feeding and hydration.

If Judge Merryday agrees with the center's complaint, then help will be on the way. But Terri's family and supporters worry that if it comes, it will be too late.
Christine Brundage, a retired registered nurse who handles the correspondence for the Schindler family, told WorldNetDaily people who have seen Terri say she is beginning to fade and they fear she can't hold out much longer. She is reported to be alert still and vocalizing, but her face is thinner and her skin is becoming drawn, showing the effects of five days of dehydration.
Soon her kidneys will collapse, says Brundage, and her other internal organs. Her brain, too, will be damaged even more than it was before her forced starvation.
"It's a miracle she's in as good condition as she is," remarked Brundage. "I just hope she can hold out a bit longer, if help is on the way."
