Cynical Nation

By now, most people have probably heard the stories of New Orleans doctors euthanizing dying patients in the chaos of Hurricane Katrina.

Horrible though this is, I won't sit in judgment of the doctors' decisions. But am I the only who's astounded that this isn't a huge news story? I could barely find anything about it at all, days after it was first reported. After all the barrels of ink that was spilled over Terry Schiavo, you'd think there'd be a little more attention paid to this.

So what's going on? Are they having trouble nailing the story down? Is it apocryphal, like the stories of cannibalism? What gives?
