"Mine will make me support the very difficult position she is in."

I can understand your support. Everyone is entitled to their own feelings and beliefs. However, her position could have been made alot less difficult if she had chosen to return to West Virginia, make or release a statement to the press about her feelings/experiences in Iraq and with the military, and then get on with her life. She instead chose to become a public figure by writing a book. She's already had one interview and more will follow, especially to promote the sale of the book. What she says during those interviews will be telling. Will she repeat everything she has previously said piecemeal, or will she feel the need to add to the story each time she retells it? We'll have to wait to see for ourselves. Personally, for someone who felt that she had been used by the military, I find it very difficult to understand how she could then allow herself to be used by the media as well.

I don't think she could digest and clarify all that has been said about her in a short press release where she could then just go home.

And why should she? Why can't we know her, we are obviously interested. If she wants to show us more about her, then great. Of all the books that are written every year, this one seems very worthy. I intend to buy the book.
