Report: Doctors killed patients in New Orleans

[pegkerr]

Doctors working in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals.

Is this a reputable news source? Has anyone read anything about this in U.S./other authoritative coverage?

Because I gotta believe, if this is true, that this is going to be a big deal for the "compassionate conservative" pro-life right wing, the ones who rode into town to make Terri Schiavo's last days such a circus.

This is huge. This has got to shock even Bush supporters. Unless the Bushwackers find some way to pin this on the liberals (perhaps they'll try to spin it that the doctor was one of those cowardly left wing "culture-of-death" types? Or spin it that if the doctor had believed in the right to bear arms like a true red-blooded American should, she would have stayed at the hospital to defend her patients at gunpoint, instead of fleeing to save her own "cowardly" neck?)

Was there something I missed that makes you think that they /do/ have any moral consistency? I don't mean to be cynical or anything, it's just that I'm, well, cynical.

No, of course not. But they pretend to, or think they do, who knows what goes on in their horrid heads, and sometimes it just drives me nuts.
