Hillary has been regaling supporters on the campaign trail with hair-raising tales of a trip she made to Bosnia in March 1996. In her retelling, she was sent to places that her husband, Bill, could not go because they were "too dangerous." When her account was challenged by one of her traveling companions, the comedian Sinbad, she upped the ante and injected even more drama into the story. In a speech earlier this week, she talked about "landing under sniper fire" and running for safety with "our heads down."

Numerous problems with Clinton's version of events.

As a reporter who visited Bosnia soon December 1995, I can attest that the physical risks were minimal during this period, at a heavily fortified U.S. Air Force base, such as Tuzla. Contrary to the claims of Hillary Clinton, Bosnia was not "too dangerous" a place for President Clinton to visit in 1996. In fact, the first Clinton to visit the Tuzla Air Force base was not Hillary, but Bill, on January 13, 1996.
