I wish this wasn't a story - but it is.
Mrs. Jopek was an Obama supporter (at least in March of this year) and doesn’t want to sabotage the campaign, so she refused to give interviews. But I found an old radio interview with the father Brian Jopek (who served in Iraq and is now apparently serving at the Guantanamo base):The parents are reportedly divorced now. I don't think either wants the spotlight. Nothing I've seen refutes the senator's assertion that “She asked me ‘can you please make sure that another mother is not going through what I’m going through'". Likewise nothing I've seen indicates that this woman wants to be the next Cindy Sheehan (nor have I heard any accusations of that, but if she's forced to clarify her comments I can see that coming.)BRIAN JOPEK: Whatever is decided, we need to make sure that it benefits the American servicemen, and also the Iraqis.Regarding Barack Obama: According to the father, Tracy Jopek wrote to the Senator: “She had asked him not to wear the bracelet.”

We don’t wanna go back in there in ten years, at a greater cost and more lives.I sure hope that, whoever is elected, Democrat or Republican, that they look at the big picture and don’t just pull up stakes — or “pop smoke” as we say in the military, because of the political atmosphere.”
The blogosphere is likely to turn stupid over this - followed closely by the mainstream media, and I foresee a train wreck with a military family forced on board. I really hope I'm wrong.
Update: I agree completely with this.
