NAMPA -- Brenda Mansell of Boise kissed her 20-year-old son goodbye yesterday afternoon as the Marine left for his second tour of duty in Iraq.

This morning, she stood outside the Idaho Center in Nampa with about 150 other protesters calling on President Bush to bring her son home.

Mansell says Bush has yet to give "concrete answers" why her son and other members of the U-S military were sent to Iraq.

The anti-war demonstration was the fifth in Idaho since Bush arrived in the state Monday to vacation before addressing military members and their families this morning at the arena in the Boise suburb. <snip>
