Political Ads: Clarke complaints
-- Associated Press -3/31/04
President Bush's former counterterrorism adviser objected Wednesday to the use of his name and critical comments about Bush in a new television advertisement from a political group supporting Democratic candidate John Kerry.
Richard A. Clarke said he instructed his lawyer to ask the MoveOn.org Voter Fund to stop broadcasting the ad, which Clarke said was created without his knowledge or permission. The group said it wouldn't pull the ad.
The advertisement accuses Bush of "shamelessly" exploiting the September 2001 terrorism attacks against New York and Washington. It includes two audio excerpts from an interview with Clarke that CBS aired on "60 Minutes," on March 21, the day before Clarke's book, "Against All Enemies," went on sale.
