Well, what do you know. Looks like Chris Wallace was not just completely hostile to Tammy Duckworth during her interview on Fox News Sunday where Wallace was carrying water for this shyster Jim Towey, he also distorted what's on the VHA's web site by cropping the documents during the interview. It's a good thing we've got those dirty f$@#king hippie, fact checking bloggers over at Media Matters to catch things like this:

On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace repeatedly cropped quotes from a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) document to falsely suggest that the Obama administration is pressuring veterans to end their lives prematurely and to accuse Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs Tammy Duckworth of lying about it. In fact, contrary to Wallace's false assertions, the document he referred to does not require doctors to direct veterans to what conservatives have labeled the "Death Book for Veterans."
