#1 He arrived at the hospital with the knife's black handle still jutting from his eye, quivering. "Louis refused to be carried out," recalled his sister, Eileen Trotta. "He wanted to walk out to show the terrorists that we won, meaning the U.S.A., and that he did not give up."

#2 At Supermax ol Salim will suffer a fate worse than death.

One thing this war has shown is the compassion Americans have for each other. Now that his story is out it won't take long before someone with means will see to his needs.

#5 The slant of the story, that Mr. Pepe has somehow been financially let down, is somewhat misleading. He gets disability of 2/3 of his old salary. He has a free $2,800/month apartment, which has space for his mother, in a highly desirable neighborhood. He got a new van in return for his old clunker. His attacker got 32 years in Supermax with no parole.

I'm not trying to disparage the formidable challenge of living with a severe brain injury. I'm saying the article unjustly implies that Mr. Pepe has been forgotten and mistreated by his neighbors and his government.
