When those four yahoos in the rubber boat saluted the Cole as they sailed to their death, President Clinton called them "cowardly." Using the word in that way satisifies an emotional agenda, but it has nothing to do with the actual meaning of the word. Cowardice refers to a failure of courage. These guys did not lack courage, by any stretch.

And now the Republican Clinton is doing the same thing with that word.

By the way, Clinton's handling of most of his scandals could properly be described as cowardly. It certainly wasn't courageous, the way he dodged the truth and hid behind scapegoats.
