Look out! Sniper! Hillary Clinton's Bosnia claims push her from determined to desperate

This is a story that is already blowing up in her face. There is more in Across the Pond, including these beauts:

• Hillary Clinton goes on the offensive to spare blushes over sniper
  
• Barack Obama is 'extraordinary talent', says Michael Gerson
  
• Hillary Clinton under fire for attacks on Barack Obama
  
• Hillary Clinton backtracks over 'misleading' Bosnia sniper story

As Hillary Clinton wades into the Rev. Wright controversy, a couple of interesting items have made their way onto the web. First is a statement from the Clinton family's pastor during their White House years, Dean J. Snyder of the Foundry United Methodist Church. He writes in support of the Reverend Wright, who he suggests has been the victim of a smear campaign using selective soundbites to distort his true position.

Ouch.
