Who is the woman being charged for disrespecting the American flag during her son's funeral?
I heard about a woman whose son was killed in Iraq, and during his funeral, she allegedly pulled the American flag off her son's casket and replaced it with the flag of Puerto Rico, since that's where he was from. Supposedly, she now has to go to court for disrespecting the American flag. Does anyone have a link to this story?

Fiction. Protestors, yes: http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2007...
Mother, no.
I haven't seen this story -- or the law that she's alleged to have violated.
But it strikes me as a First Amendment issue.
