Your War on Terror, revisited

[hummingwolf]

This evening, Google alerted me to an entry about the case of Michael Tony Futi, the 14-day-old baby who died in February 2008 after being locked up at Honolulu International Airport, having flown to Hawaii from American Samoa for heart surgery. This one still hurts to read about, hurts to think about.

This is the only ending I have. An anonymous commenter there found a link to the judgment in the civil case Futi et al v. United States of America, if any of you want to read it for yourselves.

there aren't any words that are appropriate here...sadness and anger...

Yeah. This story is one I've always had real problems dealing with.
