Clinton's Exaggeration Revealed
Washington (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign said she "misspoke" last week when saying she had landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia as first lady in March 1996. She later characterized the episode as a "misstatement" and a "minor blip."
The defense of Clinton came after CBS Television News aired videotape of the airport reception Clinton received in 1996 followed by her remarks last week. The two did not match; the airport reception showed Clinton strolling among the military, shaking hands.
Clinton's attempt to dramatize the event was cited by some as evidence she is a "serial exaggerator."
