Paste contents of clipboard into active application?

Hello,
I have created a script to pull text from a background application. I
am using Quicksilver to run the script. I want to have the script then
paste the text wherever my cursor is in whichever application I happen
to be in.

I have tried adding this:
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down

but it only works when I run it from Script editor and not when I use
quicksilver to run it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

Unfortunately, you can only issue keystrokes and menu commands to the
foreground application (because only those applications have control of
the screen and keyboard).

Fortunately, you can issue the 'activate' command to an application to
bring it to the foreground, and the same command to another application
(e.g. the Finder) to send it behind again.
