PROPAGANDA

Kudos to Ellis Henican for his excellent commentary on the Super Bowl
anti-drug propaganda ["This Drug Ad a Hard Sell," Feb 8]. Americans should
question whether this is really the wisest way to be spending our tax
dollars. And, more to the point, anyone with a bit of common sense can
easily see that there is no connection whatsoever between buying marijuana,
which was most likely grown in the United States, Canada or Mexico, and
terrorism in the Mideast. It's offensive that the Office of National Drug
Control Policy would take Americans for such idiots.
