When the 9/11 widows first announced their support for Kerry's candidacy, I surmised in a comment posted on a dKos thread that the press, because they wouldn't dare attack them outright, would simply ignore them. Of course, this is exactly what has happened, for the most part.
But now MSNBC.com has a Newsweek interview online with Kristen Breitweiser -- it's excellent:

For those of us who were disgusted and sickened by the shameless and hypocritical marketing of 9/11 at the RNC, we may now take delight in its' having been Karl Rove's worst mistake so far, as seen by Breitweiser's response to the question of what finally led her to decide to support John Kerry:
For me, it was the [Republican National Convention] ... At the convention, 9/11 was spoken about constantly and I thought, where was this interest, this passion, this fervor for the last three years when we [9/11 widows] were begging and pleading and screaming to get 9/11 issues addressed by this administration? They wanted nothing to do with it, and then there's a convention where that's all they're talking about: 9/11.
Hell hath no fury like righteous widows scorned.
