Cheney to Bush: "See, my boy, THAT'S how a REAL liar LIES!"
You can go to factcheck.COM, as Cheney said, if you'd like but... (that's an easy slipup to make)
However, please DO go to the site Cheney meant us to see:
www.factcheck.org
where most of the mangled facts from this debate are indeed covered today.
(Silly fact, Cheney personally met Edwards at least two times before tonight)
But, the most evil lie was made by Cheney:
From today's Washington Post:
The Post cites 3 examples, just a random sample only from interviews on "Meet the Press":
12/9/01: "it's been pretty well confirmed that [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack." (Meet the Press)
9/8/02: Atta "did apparently travel to Prague. . . . We have reporting that places him in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence officer a few months before the attacks on the World Trade Center." (Meet the Press).
2003: Cheney described Iraq as part of "the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault for many years, but most especially on 9/11."

From today's Washington Post:
Early in the debate, Cheney snapped at Edwards, "The senator has got his facts wrong. I have not suggested there's a connection between Iraq and 9/11." But in numerous interviews, Cheney has skated close to the line in ways that may have certainly left that impression on viewers, usually when he cited the possibility that Mohamed Atta, one of the hijackers on Sept. 11, 2001, met with an Iraqi official -- even after that theory was largely discredited.
