>> Clinton just lies; Pat Robertson lies with a smile on his face. Wrong. According to a Yale professor who studied and just published a book on the subject, it is Clinton who lies with conviction and is uncomfortable with the truth. After analyzing Clinton's conflicting public comments, Komp said she thinks Clinton is ''more uncomfortable telling the truth than when he is lying.'' In new book, Yale doctor examines why people lie NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) A Yale University professor believes she knows why people like President Clinton lie, and she is fessing up in a new book. In ''The Anatomy of a Lie: The Truth About Lies and Why Good People Tell Them,'' Professor Diane M. Komp of the Yale School of Medicine says people actually lie quite often to protect themselves from punishment or embarrassment, to protect their own fantasies about themselves or to protect others.... ....Komp questions Clinton's claims of privacy in his relationship with Lewinsky, saying lies affect other people. ''I happened to have voted for him, but I happen to be hoping that he will resign because I think his ego is running ahead of national interests and international interests,'' she said. After analyzing Clinton's conflicting public comments, Komp said she thinks Clinton is ''more uncomfortable telling the truth than when he is lying.'' ''When Clinton wagged his finger and said 'I did not have an improper relationship with that woman,' the way his body language and words worked together suggested that he was telling the truth,'' Komp said. ''But in his Aug. 17 speech, when he revealed the truth, ... he couldn't keep eye contact. He couldn't sit still.''...... courant.com
