A conservative group that supports President Bush is using an official Navy photo of the president greeting troops aboard an aircraft carrier to raise money. Citizens United for the Bush Agenda sent copies of the picture to about 30,000 people last month, along with a request for donations.
The picture was taken by a Navy photographer after Bush landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln in May to declare an end to major combat operations in Iraq. The photo was taken from a U.S. Navy website. A Pentagon spokesman said once the picture is posted on the Internet, it's in the public domain and can be used by anyone as long as the photo is credited.
Some Democrats complained that the trip, with the president decked out in Navy flight gear, had political overtones and that landing in a jet was a waste of taxpayer money.
