Links

The links cited don't really gibe with the paragraph in the article. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say something like:

"During the 2004 Olympics, team members expressed their objections to commercials by the re-election campaign of George W. Bush which made reference to Iraq'a participation in the Games."

Reason being, is that the Bush ads didn't (verbally) mention the football team expressly.
