Get your facts

Get your facts right!
One of the fallouts of yesterday's debate was Dick Cheney's plug for factcheck.com(sic) which sent people all over the world hitting the website. The real URL however is, factcheck.ORG. The false website is owned by some cybersquatters in the Carribean. And as the number of hits soared these guys, not particular admirers of Bush and Cheney redirected users to the Anti-Bush georgesoros.com. The conspiracy theorists are of the opinion that this idea was hatched by Soros himself once he realised this.

The original website is quite good and does vindicate to some extent Cheney's claim that he has not benefitted much from his Halliburton connection that has often been implied. Of course, both parties in their sit-down combat had a field day with making up their own statistics.
