Kind of.

Every time Edwards had an opportunity to explain John Kerry's record to the American people, he chose to attack the Vice President, and his low moment came 40 minutes into the debate when a befuddled-looking John Edwards latched onto Halliburton - a political attack proven false by the nonpartisan FactCheck.org.

If you type that one in, it comes out as a broken link... so it looks like they still can't get the right URL. So, what do I do? Go to the main page of the FactCheck site, and what do they actually say?

Cheney Plugs FactCheck
Cheney got our domain name wrong -- calling us "FactCheck.com" -- and wrongly implied that we had rebutted allegations Edwards was making about what Cheney had done as chief executive officer of Halliburton.
In fact, we did post an article pointing out that Cheney hasn't profited personally while in office from Halliburton's Iraq contracts, as falsely implied by a Kerry TV ad. But Edwards was talking about Cheney's responsibility for earlier Halliburton troubles. And in fact, Edwards was mostly right.

pwnt.
I won't say that Edwards didn't make mistakes either, but this one was fairly interesting. I'm guessing they're betting that no one will bother going to the web site to check, especially if it looks like it's 'down' (broken link).
