**FILE**Ankie Spitzer, widow of the Israeli fencing coach, Andre Spitzer, who was slain by Palestinian terrorists on Sept. 5, 1972, surveys the room where the incident occurred at Munich's Olympic Village in Germany on Sept. 8, 1972. The chalk circles on the wall were made by West German police to mark bulletholes. Steven Spielberg's controversial movie, "Munich," about the 1972 Olympic massacre and its aftermath, got an unlikely endorsement Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2005, -- Spitzer and another widow of two of the 11 murdered Israeli athletes said it neither dishonored their husband's memory of their husbands nor tarnished their country's image.(AP Photo)
