I'm confused. I  don't any reference to the Atlantic in Fisher's WaPo  
article. Fisher provides no links but I think it is clear that he is  
talking about this document:

This  is just a difference in strategy. I think we need to be careful  
not  to over react lest we squander or credibility before they make  
the big push.

Not only  was it part of the record, she herself has never publicly  
retracted it. We only get this story that she misheard the question  
from a 3rd party. Now I'm not a lawyer but I believe that a statement  
made under oath stands until it is retracted under oath.

As Patry pointed out, what she said was "When an individual makes a  
copy *for himself*." which doesn't sound like she misheard the question.
