The Scotsman - International - Judge rules patient must die

Scotsman reporter Jacqui Goddard, writing from Miami, takes a look at the Terri Schiavo case and the broader battle in American government:

AN EXTRAORDINARY constitutional battle was raging last night over the fate of a disabled woman at the centre of the US’s longest running right-to-die case - as doctors began the grim process of starving her to death...

Goddard seems to understand the political maneuvering better than some of the rest of us (well, better than I do, at any rate). And, as always, thanks go to the Scotsman for doing its own reporting, and providing the wire services with worthy competition.
