From
Democracy Now!:
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who has been one of the most outspoken opponents of removing Terri Schiavo's feeding tube. But 17 years ago, DeLay and his family had to make a simliar decision over his own comatose father and they elected not to keep him alive by artificial means. We are joined on the phone by Walter Roche- one of two L.A Times reporters who broke this story. And from the studio in Washington DC, we are joined by two guests - Judd Legum - director of research at the Center for American Progress and Suzanne Goldenberg, the US correspondent for the British Guardian newspaper. Judd has also been conducting research into Tom Delay's involvement in the Schiavo case. And in her own reporting on the Schiavo case, Suzanne Goldenberg found that Terri's father decided to turn off the life support system for his own 79 year old mother who was ill with pneumonia for a week.
