That's an empty argument. The doctor could have fulfilled his professional obligation by treating them and then calling the police. His act of
treating them alone was not giving aid to terrorism. Treating them and sending them on their way was giving such aid. It's far from time to worry;
that alarmist attitude undermines the facts of the case and argues that we should allow our doctors to treat criminals and then protect them from the
police.

Togeic,
I wasn't arguing that he wasn't supporting terror by sending the terrorist on his way. I was only saying that when our medical people, such as
doctors, start aiding terrorists, we need to start worrying.
As I said, doctors are supposed to help the sick and injured not create them by helping terrorist. No offense, but I think you misunderstood the
intent of what I wrote. It's not the doctor getting in trouble that bugs me (he deserved to get arrested), I'm worried that a doctor of all people
would do something so dangerous!
