DISSEMBLING MENDACITY

Clinton caught out over sniper claims

Democrat Hillary Clinton may have "misspoke" when, in a bid to flag her foreign policy experience, she claimed to have come under sniper fire on a 1996 visit to Bosnia, aides said.

Responding to a slew of mocking reports and television footage that showed no danger during her arrival at Tuzla, the presidential contender's campaign insisted that Senator Clinton had gone into a "potential combat zone."

"Now it is possible in the most recent instance in which she discussed this that she misspoke with regard to the exit from the plane," Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson told reporters on a conference call.

[Our noble leaders are accused of mendacity, dissembling and misspeaking ... the rest of us just lie.]
