Let me rephrase what I said. If Sarah Palin's GRANDFATHER had done this to her aunt in he 1940s, the media would tell everyone all about it.

And is anyone hiding this? It's not like there isn't a wealth of sources that you can read about this. There's not some coverup.

The fact of the matter is, despite what you want to believe, is that the timing matters. In 1940, a lobotomy was considered a cutting edge procedure that (seemingly) held a lot of promise to cure what the medical community understood to be certain ailments.

It is absolutely ridiculous to judge medical decisions of the past on today's knowledge. Why don't you next have a post about how the Founding Fathers were really tyrants because they used bloodletting and leeches?

NBC had a "Kennedys" miniseries and glossed completely over it. There is a big difference between something being available to read, and trumpeted by the mainstream media and TV/movies.
