Matt Blackfive has posted on why he believes the use of some 9/11 footage in George Bush's campaign ads is different from Dennis Kucinich using the names of those killed in Iraq in his ads.
For the record, I don't think he's being two-faced.
My own opinion essentially mirrors Blackfive's, and those of most of the other bloggers whose posts I've come across. Stated succinctly, my opinion is this: Bush is not using this footage in a negative attack ad, which is what Kucinich's ad was. Also, the second or two of footage is only a small part of the ad, not the entire focus of it. He's simply pointing out that this event happened and that it is one of the many things we've had to deal with in the last few years. He's not placing the blame for it on anybody.
