Hillary Clinton and the Bosnia sniper fire memory
Leonard Pitts Jr. argues that Hillary Clinton’s Bosnia sniper fire tale reveals a troubling pattern of truth bending in presidential campaigns. He notes Barack Obama’s foreclosure bill co author confusion and John McCain’s flag lie, but stresses Clinton’s misstatement shows a deeper question about character and devotion to winning. The piece asks how much one would sacrifice truth to secure the presidency.
