Bill Kristol, the 9-11 families, and "moral blackmail"

Did Bill Kristol really just accuse the 9-11 widows of "moral blackmail"? As someone who had previously spoken out against the idea that the families deserved the right to dictate policy, I'm not unsympathetic to what I take to be his basic point. But "moral blackmail"?
I'm looking forward to a campaign led by the same folks who ran the jihad agaist Daily Kos, demanding that all Republican candidates and causes must now pull their advertising from the Weekly Standard.
