FDT's Facts Check Out

Fact Check is still processing through the Republican debate for whether or not the candidates used accurate information in their comments. The conclusion for Fred was that he was accurate:

Thompson stuck to the facts in his rookie outing. A number of his statements attracted our interest, but they all checked out.
...
Thompson was correct when he said of the U.S., "We have the second highest corporate tax penalty in the world."
...
Thompson corrected moderator Chris Matthews, who wrongly implied that the former senator had said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction "right before" the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq
...
Thompson erred – but on the safe side – when he said, "We're enjoying 22 quarters of successive economic growth." Actually, the U.S. economy has grown for 23 successive quarters, according to the most recent figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. And when preliminary figures on gross domestic product for July, August and September are released later this month, the official total is expected to reach 24.
...
Thompson also was correct about the effect of restraining growth of Social Security benefits for future retirees

Very good information from Fact Check. They went on to point out Giuliani had many errors:

But Thompson made it through his first debate without making any false or misleading factual claims that we could detect, while former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani committed multiple factual gaffes, adding to a growing list of misstatements.
