Although showing the footage in political ads might be tacky and/or insensitive, footage of the World Trade Center attack is public domain and is thus perfectly allowable for use in political ads. On the other hand, I don't think I would want my campaign associated with an act of televised terrorism. An aversion to those images might translate into an aversion to vote for Bush; that political price is too high, especially for an incumbent.
