Beyond belief!! The Seattle jail is refusing to release Steve because of a mix up in the paperwork. Kafka? Vogon? No, its just the drugwar in DEAland! Steve's attorney, Douglas Hiatt, is apoplectic. He is standing by to take Steve to the hospital, but now he is going to have to endure another night in a jail that has a "policy" against giving any "narcotics." Presumably, they also have a policy against medical ethics.
My apologies for the incorrect report but the Associated Press is also carrying the story with the correction. They had been told that Steve had been released. Will the media ignore this outrage? Demand that the Congress and the Parliament investigate the torture of Steve Tuck!

Steven William Tuck, 38, was still fitted with the urinary catheter when he shuffled into U.S. District Court for a detention hearing Wednesday, said his lawyer, Douglas Hiatt.

We do not yet know when Steve will be physically able to return to Humboldt, but at that time we will need to be vigilant to see that he is safe. He needs a place to stay there, and it may be necessary to raise bail for him, perhaps $20,000.*
