He was not asked about a link between 9-11 and Saddam Hussein (nor was Kerry, whose response he added onto), and he did NOT say anything of the like. He discussed only the threat of terrorism and how seriously he takes it given how many people lost their lives in New York. Please see the Washington Post transcripts, and see the article in the Post the next day, which mentioned Edwards' comments on a variety of topics several times but said nothing about his making such a statement nor even implying it. Don't you think this would be front page news if he in fact said it?

I think you may be confused because some supporters of other candidates here at DU put words in his mouth, then criticized him for those words. The unfairness of this smear was eloquently expressed by PurityofEssence:
