Man with rare TB put under quarantine after traveling from Prague to US:
"ATLANTA - A man with a form of tuberculosis so dangerous he is under the first U.S. government-ordered quarantine since 1963 told a newspaper he took one trans-Atlantic flight for his wedding and honeymoon and another because he feared for his life...The man told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that while doctors told him they preferred that he put off his long-planned wedding in Greece, they didn’t order him not to fly.
"He knew that he had tuberculosis, but didn’t think he was a danger, he said."
I think that after he's cured, they should leave him in quarantine, and maybe stick Paris Hilton in with him. Do you need a doctor to tell you not to go into a public area when you have TB? Stupidity--a national security issue.

In the headline of a Bob McCarty Writes™ post May 3, I raised this question: Will Liberals View Terrorism & TB in Similar Ways? Now, it seems we're getting the opportunity to find out. It's going to get interesting.
There's a difference between the optional and the pragmatic. Gitmo is an optional (and a bad option on top of it) method to deal with terror suspects while TB detention is a necessary measure. And of course those in quaratine should be treated as humanely as possible while they are being treated. Is that going to happen? Shrug.
