I suspect McCain’s position hasn’t changed, but his campaign is actively engaging in the “saying nothing isn’t lying” deception by simply not talking about it and removing all references from his website.

In case anyone forgets, this is how 75%-80% of Americans came to the false conclusion Saddam was behind 9/11 pre-invasion. The Administration (sans Chaney) never came straight out and suggested Saddam was involved in 9/11, but they said/did nothing to dispel the well-known misconception, instead using it to garner support for their war. Afterwards, they went around saying, “Hey, we never claimed Saddam was behind 9/11!”. No, but they sure did nothing to debunk it when they knew people were saying it.
