*CNN: As seen by both Gore's supporters and those outside his circle, including historians, Gore doesn't necessarily lie intentionally. Rather, they say, he embellishes, and does so mysteriously in areas where the truth is already on his side. And then his language, they say, gets blown out of proportion in journalists' efforts to simplify and build up a story. <ref> http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/09/22/gore.lat/index.html </ref>

In the spring of 2000 Gore told the International Press Institute in [[Boston]],

Gore falsely claimed that he discovered problems in Love Canal and fixed them. He said:

:"For all of my career, I have believed that America has a responsibility to lead in the world. ...we must also recognize that there is ...a set of threats that affect us all and that transcend political borders....we need a foreign policy that addresses the classic security threats -- and understands the new ones as well....We need to pursue a policy of "forward engagement" -- addressing problems early in their development before they become crises; addressing them as close to the source of the problem as possible" <ref>[http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itps/0900/ijpe/pj52gore.htm ''A New Security Agenda for the Global Age''], Al Gore, Speech to the International Press Institute, Boston MA, April 30, 2000.

"I used to be the next president of United States of America."

:"I called for a congressional investigation and a hearing. I looked around the country for other sites like that. I found a little place in upstate New York called Love Canal. Had the first hearing on that issue."

 

:"That was the one that started it all. ... We made a huge difference and it was all because one high school student got involved."
