hey Mavdog, would you mind providing a link to the article?
I found that the same ap story (same author/title) at Yahoo! slightly modified and with the following passage:
"Nor did all victims' relatives criticize the ad.
Patricia Riley of Staten Island, N.Y., who lost her sister in the attack, said: "The president has every right to point to his leadership during that time."
Bush's campaign had said it would not use the attacks for political gain, and current and former aides defended the commercials. "
