Guardian Unlimited | US elections 2004 | 9/11 widows join Kerry campaign: "'The truth is, after watching the Republican convention in New York, I am scared. I am scared of the mentality,' said Kirsten Breitweiser, the most celebrated of the self-styled Jersey Girls, four widows who led a dogged campaign to force the Bush administration to establish an independent investigation into the attacks.
... Ms Breitweiser's defection - she voted for Mr Bush in the 2000 elections - presents a symbolically important counter-argument to the Republican campaign's appropriation of the war on terror as an election prop. "
