John Re...He's not "discussing" 9/11, he trying to wrap it like a subliminal cloak around his administration. Sure, just as Kerry is trying to use Nam. It's marketing crap, Personally, I don't think you will win that one. For political ads, they were very well done; especially considering how disgusting a lot of political ads have become. it's disgusting to a lot of people who lost loved ones. My bet is that a far bigger majority likes the ads. My biggest bewilderment, is that Kerry seems to have disavowed his leadership in the anti war protests, which, truth be told, got him to where he is, not his 4 months in Nam, or his medals. 9/11 got GW to where he is, and that is why he is sticking with it. Most coaches, of any team, say you should stick with what bought you. Kerry's strategy is like Al's winning strategy of disowning Bill in 2000.

John, These journalists must have a death wish as well as being stupid. As the rebels were closing in on P-Au-P the other nite, John Kerry, an NBC reporter, was going on like he was reporting the Nascar. I couldn't believe he was stil in P-Au-P. At that point, there was no escaping the violence. He was stuck. No job is worth those kind of heroics IMO. ted ********************************************************* Spanish Journalist Killed, Others Wounded in Haiti Sun Mar 7, 2004 06:11 PM ET MIAMI (Reuters) - A Spanish television correspondent was killed and at least one other foreign journalist was injured when gunfire erupted during a demonstration outside Haiti's National Palace in Port-au-Prince on Sunday. Witnesses said supporters of exiled Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide opened fire on thousands of revelers celebrating Aristide's departure, killing at least four people and wounding 19, including an American photographer. A journalist at Antena 3 TV in Madrid confirmed that the station's correspondent, Ricardo Ortega, died after being shot. He had been sent to Haiti about 10 days ago. Antena 3 Radio reported that he was hit in the chest and abdomen and taken to the hospital, where he later died. An EFE Spanish news agency journalist, Enrique Ibanez, talking on Spanish state radio, said: "Our colleague, Ricardo Ortega, died as a result of two shots fired at him at the end of the demonstration. He was taken to the hospital where sadly he has died." Ortega had previously been a correspondent in Russia and the United States, the radio said. There were also unconfirmed witness reports that other foreign journalists were wounded in the shooting. One of the wounded journalists was Michael Laughlin, a photographer with the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, a newspaper spokesman said. "He was shot in the shoulder and the face," Sun-Sentinel spokesman Kevin Courtney said. Laughlin was in stable condition at the Canape Vert Hospital in Port-au-Prince and the newspaper was trying to arrange to bring him to Florida for further treatment, Courtney said. Laughlin, believed to be in his late 30s, was on assignment for the Florida newspaper in Haiti. © Reuters 2004. All Rights Reserved. reuters.com
