Last update - 01:13 24/06/2008 McCain disavows aide comment that terror attack would help GOP By The Associated Press Tags: terror, U.S., John McCain  John McCain distanced himself Monday from a top adviser who said another terrorist attack on the United States in this election year would benefit the Republican presidential candidate. Charlie Black, an adviser already in the spotlight for his past lobbying work, is quoted in the upcoming July 7 edition of Fortune magazine as saying such an attack certainly would be a big advantage to him. Black is also quoted as saying "the unfortunate event of the assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto earlier this year helped us." Advertisement McCain was questioned about Black's comments during a news conference. "I cannot imagine why he would say it; it's not true," the Arizona senator said. "I've worked tirelessly since 9/11 to prevent anther attack on the United States of America. My record is very clear." Citing his work to establish a commission to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States, as well as his membership on the Senate Armed Services Committee, McCain added: "I cannot imagine it, and so, if he said that - and I don't know the context - I strenuously disagree." Black, interviewed by reporters as he stood outside McCain's fundraiser, said: "I deeply regret the comments. They were inappropriate. I recognize that John McCain has devoted his entire adult life to protecting his country and placing its security before every other consideration."
