A recent television ad showing President Clinton apparently concluding that the "drug war" was a failure drew the ire of White House attorneys. The ad showed Mr. Clinton speaking, but with an imitator's voice. "Superimposing someone else's words over videotape of the President speaking is confusing, if not deceptive, and is potentially actionable," a White House attorney wrote the group Common Sense for Drug Policy. The group, which wants more emphasis on drug abuse treatment and less on law enforcement, refused to pull the ad, noting it explained that it was an actor's voice. "Governments incapable of defending their policies on the merits stifle speech," said spokesman Kevin Zeese. - --- Checked-by: Richard Lake
