Applescript to "paste" clipboard

I use keystroke:

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down

I'm not aware of an error you should get, so you'll have to share.

There is a direct way to access the clipboard via the the clipboard keyword:

tell application "System Events" to keystroke (the clipboard as text)
