Oh, the AP finally acknowledges that Terri was only brain-damaged and not comatose! How long did we have to write letters to editors (that rarely made it to print) to get them to change the way they misinformed the public on that one point alone?

I noticed other stories out there saying 'brain damaged' now also. Do you think they are trying to get it right, or is the media simply rephrasing it now (when it gets the most attention on the anniversary) to get it in peoples minds that killing brain damaged people will be acceptable in the future?

If the media would honestly investigate what happened down there, I would rule out the rephrasing scenario, but not until then.
