Great quotes in the Reuters version of this story:


>Ron Willett of Walnut Shade, Missouri, said he was disgusted when he
>saw the ads. Willett, who lost his 29-year-old son, John Charles,
>when planes hit the trade center, said he is now so upset, "I would
>vote for Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) before I would vote for
>Bush."
>
>"I think it is an atrocity," his wife, Lucy, added. "He should not
>be allowed to use those images at all."
>
>STAY AWAY FROM GROUND ZERO
>
>With Republicans holding their political convention in New York in
>late August, victims said they hope Bush does not make it worse by
>speaking at the site now known as Ground Zero, which many view as
>sacred.
>
>"If he does, there will be a protest and it could get ugly," said Doyle.
