Apparently, DanNY was right, and Clinton didn't say that the cartoon publishers should be prosecuted.
From the link, here is the complete quote of what Pres. Clinton said:
"I strongly disagree with the creation and publication of cartoons that are considered blasphemous by the Muslims around the world," the AFP news agency quotes him as saying.
"I thought it was a mistake."
But he lamented the escalation of differences over the issue.
"I had no objections to Muslims who were demonstrating in a peaceful way their convictions.
"I thought [the cartoons issue] was also a great opportunity which I fear has been squandered to build bridges," AFP reports.
This is from the BBC press conference video. I for one apologize to Mr. Clinton, and lesson learned: always look at the tape. |
