Sympathy for the Devil

I couldn't get over the sympathetic way they described the Ft Hood assasin: "KXAN (Austin) - A pre-trial hearing for the man accused of a mass murder in Fort Hood was delayed Tuesday until Oct. 4, giving his attorney more time to get what he says are missing documents - as well as better healthcare for his client, who is confined to a wheelchair", and "Galligan is also requesting more time because of Hasan's medical condition and has told KXAN the Bell County Jail is not fit to adequately care for his client because he is confined to a wheelchair and paralyzed from the waist down. Galligan is also asking the court to take breaks because Hasan can not sit for long amounts of time, and that could compromise his ability to take part in the hearing." The article did NOT bother to mention the reason for his medical condition. I'm surprised they're not freeing him on "compassionate grounds" the way they did the Lockerbie bomber!
