The lie that killed my son
http://www.guardian.co.uk/women/story/0,3604,1256293,00.html
Lila Lipscomb believed in Bush's case for war in Iraq. But when her
son died in action, her faith in the American way was shattered. Emma
Brockes meets the Michigan mother at the heart of Michael Moore's
Fahrenheit 9/11

Two years ago, if you had asked Lila Lipscomb what she stood for, she
would have referred you to the flag in her garden and her four
grown-up children. Her priorities were, in descending order of
importance, family, faith, country and a place where all three met,
what she might have called "service": two of her children were in the
military and she worked in the public sector, at an employment agency
designed to get people off welfare. She is, as she puts it, "an
extremely strong woman. And I've raised my daughters to understand
that they come from a long line of strong, independent women. So the
men in our lives have to be very unique. Hence Pops."
