A Marine from Wisconsin suffered severe brain injuries from an IED last year, and after a year had failed to respond to treatment and as far as any doctor could tell he was going to be in a permanent vegatative state. He'd handed clear power of attorney to his wife, and, had clearly stated his preferences not to be kept alive in such a state.

They removed support, and he died soon after (early August).

A local right to life group has protested this, and has rather viciously been attacking his widow. They have gone so far as to say that "the terrorists in Iraq only injured him, it was his wife and his doctors who murdered him".

Yes, Code Pink holding a protest at Walter Reed is distasteful and possibly exploitive. No, it isn't only the left that has assholes and those willing to exploit anyone's tragedy to further their own pet cause
