SUMMARY: Several media figures mischaracterized a response that Rep. Ron Paul gave at the Republican debate, with some asserting that Paul had "blamed"
the United
States
for the 9-11 terrorist
attacks and others simply accepting Rudy Giuliani's misrepresentation of Paul's statement -- that the United
States
had "invited the attack." In
fact, Paul did not blame the United States for the 9-11 attacks or say that the United States
had "invited" them.
