From David Sirota and the
Center for American Progress:
CLAIM:
"I can't believe he said that. They are playing politics with a national tragedy."

FACT:
"President Bush's re-election team unveiled his first campaign advertisements on Wednesday and they in part use the events of Sept. 11, 2001...Two ads refer to the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001...One ad, entitled 'Tested,' shows, among other images, a damaged building from the World Trade Center ruins."

I've got nothing to add.
