And the final irony
Those opposed to carrying out Terri Schiavo's last wishes, and finally letting her die, assert they are doing so out of respect and love for life.

Kinda ironic, isn't it, that it's that side which is sending out all the death threats?

So far, those so-called pro-lifers have sent death threats to:
-Senator Frederica Wilson (she voted against Bush's special overturn-the-Florida-courts-because-I-say-so law)
-Circuit Judge George Greer
-Judge James Whittemore
And of course,
-Michael Schiavo

How many of the respectable big-name "pro-lifers" who have vilified Michael Schiavo will take responsibility if one of the crazies they have egged on actually follows through and kills him? Let's hope we never have to find out.

How many of these people who have lied and slimed Michael Schiavo are prepared to take responsibility for the death threats he, and Wilson, Greer, and Whittemore are receiving?

None, I'll bet.

My soul! I'd sooner lie in jail for murder plain and straight,
Pure crime I'd done with my own hand for money, lust, or hate,
Than take a seat in Parliament by fellow-felons cheered,
While one of those "not provens" proved me cleared as you are cleared.
Cleared, Rudyard Kipling.

Well said. And I LOVE that Kipling quote.

I had thought only locals were an immediate risk.

I had forgotten about the Greyhound bus network. (CNN: incompetent from IL. In a different incident, semantics: does "detonate a backpack" mean "put an explosion-resistant cage around it and use your own explosives"?)
