V.A. Bureaucrats in Retreat? [Jack Fowler] Jim Towey's powerful Wall Street Journal article — "The Death Book for Veterans" — was published Tuesday and revealed how the Obama administration has resuscitated a once-kiboshed end-of-life primer, Your Life, Your Choices: Planning for Future Medical Decision, which Towey says steers "vulnerable individuals to conclude for themselves that life is not worth living." Sarah Palin picked up on it yesterday and put out an APB via Facebook. Then Fox announced that Chris Wallace was going to have Towey on FNS to discuss the V.A. program. And I'm told Rush Limbaugh went to town on it. Surprise, surprise: The PDF file for Your Life is now carrying a front-page warning that wasn't there this morning: The following is a 1997 publication that was produced under VA IIR Grant No. 94-050, "Development of an Advance Care Planning Workbook," 4/01/95 – 3/31/97. The document is currently undergoing revision for release in VA. The revised version will be available soon. Curious: Since this disclaimer is now on the cover page, does that mean the V.A. isn't covering up?
