Article Source: expatica.com-- Somali-born MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali may have told more lies about her past in order to get asylum in the Netherlands in 1992 than she has previously admitted, news programme Zembla has suggested.
Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk said on Friday that Hirsi Ali need not worry about facing repercussions for what she did 14 years ago. But she repeated she would have deported Hirsi Ali if she had been the minister back in 1992. "I don't like lies," Verdonk said on Friday. --
I'm not fond of lies either... it becomes impossible to ignore, and trust suffers. It brings into question her truthfulness in other areas of her life, unfortunately.

The VVD is actually right-wing, conservative.
#2 - Sun May 14, 2006 1:30 PM EDTThanks for pointing that out, although I already knew that, others might not have known. I've been told that what Europeans call "liberal" is actually conservative/rightwing.
