Gibson Misrepresented Palin Position

Millions of TV viewers who watched ABC News’ interview with Sarah Palin Thursday night never saw her take issue with a key question in which she was asked if she believes that the U.S. military effort in Iraq is “a task that is from God.”

The exchange between Palin and ABC’s Charlie Gibson, in which she questioned the accuracy of the quote attributed to her, was edited out of the television broadcast but included in official, unedited transcripts posted on ABC’s Web site, as well as in video posted on the Internet.

But in the version shown on television, a video clip of her original statement was inserted in place of her objection, giving a different impression of how Palin views the Iraq war.

Doomed: Edwards Says He Lied, Had Affair

By RHONDA SCHWARTZ and BRIAN ROSS/ABC News ~ John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.

In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.

[Democratic Party insiders were quoted as saying the admission dooms any chance Edwards had of being selected as Barack Obama's running mate, and likely dooms any chance Edwards had of being named to an Obama cabinet if he's elected president.]

Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter's baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby's birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father.

Watch more tonight on "World News" at 6:30 p.m. ET and the full interview tonight on "Nightline" at 11:35 p.m. ET.
