Yahoo News has some info telling that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, victim of a violent, repugnant worshiper of marxism last January, is recovering in Texas:

Images of a smiling Rep. Gabrielle Giffords were posted Sunday on her Facebook page, two photos that show her with shorter, darker hair but few signs that she suffered a gunshot wound to the head.

The photos were taken May 17 outside the Houston rehabilitation facility where Giffords has been undergoing treatment since she was wounded five months ago at a meet-and-greet event with constituents. Six people died and a dozen others were hurt in the Jan. 8 attack in Tucson, Ariz.

Since then, access to the Arizona congresswoman has been tightly controlled. Until Sunday, no clear images had been released.

The only recent sign of Giffords came in late April, when grainy television footage showed her slowly ascending a flight of steps to a NASA plane that took her to Florida to watch her astronaut husband rocket into space. The image was so blurry that it was impossible to confirm it was Giffords until doctors did so at a news conference in mid-May.

Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin said staff members released the photos Sunday to help satisfy "intense interest in the congresswoman's appearance."

The timing coincides with plans to release Giffords from the hospital later this month or in early July. Her staff hopes the images will help curb unwanted photography when she begins visiting an outpatient clinic in a more public setting.

"What we wanted to avoid was a paparazzi-like frenzy," Karamargin said.

They're right to be concerned about paparazzi, who'd surely be more interested in mere photos than in her own state of health. She's very lucky to survive what that demented monster did to her and several other people at the market location she was speaking at. Culprit Jared Loughner should receive the death sentence for his abomination. It makes no difference whether he's insane or not; he is utterly worthless.
