I hope Edwards hammers this in Cheney's face!


WASHINGTON - U.S. Defence Secretary Don ald Rumsfeld said he was "misunderstood" when he claimed Monday night that there was no "hard evidence" linking Saddam Hussein and al- Qaeda.

Speaking to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, Rumsfeld said, "To my knowledge, I have not seen any strong, hard evidence that links the two."

But hours after his appearance, he issued a statement saying his comment "regrettably was misunderstood."

"I have acknowledged since September 2002 that there were ties between al-Qaeda and Iraq," Rumsfeld said in a statement on the Department of Defence website, posted hours after his appearance.
