Six hospitals and 13 nursing homes in Louisiana are under investigation for suspicious patient deaths and the state attorney general has confirmed that it has seized records and “other items” from Memorial Hospital. Any doctor who “euthanized” a patient because of Katrina should face dramatic justice.
From Fox News:
The investigations were wide-ranging, looking into whether patients were abandoned, evacuated improperly, or euthanized to spare them further suffering, said attorney general’s spokeswoman Kris Wartelle.
The majority of the agency’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit — 18 investigators and four lawyers — have been assigned to the cases, Wartelle said.

This is even worse than the MSM is letting us know. I wonder how GWB can be blamed for this? Oh, he can’t. THAT is why we’re not hearing about this, maybe. Please stay on their trail.
OT: (off topic) I was reading “The Pro-Liberation Left” (http://www.democratiya.com/details.asp?id=5) and there is a book I thought you may be interested in. A Matter of Principle : Humanitarian Arguments for War in Iraq (Paperback) by Thomas Cushman (Editor). It is $14.93 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0520245555/103-2699308-1907017?v=glance&n=283155&v=glance).
