Wolves
Have you seen the latest Bush campaign commercial, 'Wolves'? It's reminiscent of the Reagan commercial showing a marauding bear, representing the Soviet Union. The Bush commercial likens the threat to the U.S. from terrorism to a pack of wolves. A new site, WolfpacksforTruth.org claims to be from the owner of the wolves used in the commercial, who says the filming of the ad was a trick.
Factcheck.org disputes some of the ad's statements about Kerry's votes on intelligence.
