Janet Napolitano "apologizes" for claiming that the 9/11 perpetrators crossed over from Canada. She doesn't sound all that sorry though:
Peter Van Loan accepts her "clarification", but says "not so fast" - we've got lots of terrorists right here in Canada too:
The minister then cited the convictions of Ottawa software engineer Momin Khawaja and the first of the so-called "Toronto 18" trials alleged as examples of extremist plots emerging within Canada.
"There are very real terrorist threats and some of them, we have to confess to ourselves in Canada, are homegrown," Van Loan said. "That's evidence we cannot ignore."
Both sides seem content with continuing to imprison Omar Khadr forever:
Napolitano also said neither Harper nor Canadian officials brought up the case of Toronto-born Omar Khadr, the only Westerner remaining at the U.S. detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"That matter did not come up and I don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment on any case right now, thank you," she said.
And then she intones:
Somehow I think we've heard enough, thank you.

So Harper didn't even talk to her about her accusations of 9/11 terrorists coming over from Canada? If I were PM I would have wanted to ask her to kindly make sure she didn't allow something like that to be said again.

It's hard to make demands when you're busy kissin' butt.
i guess this kind of relates to the sovereignty thread, which i haven't looked at yet,
but its really bothering me, hearing all kinds of US news on our media, the term 'North America' used more than any other, etc.
i don't think people understand how a completely integrated US-Canada will affect them in their (to-be-nonexistent) home towns.
ie) we'll all become migrants, trying to get min wage PT jobs in free trade zone factories on the outskirts of US cities.
Laura Knight-Jadczyk said in 2002:
The 9-11 Terrorists did not act in a vacuum. They were instruments in a carefully planned intelligence operation supported by Pakistan's ISI, which owes its allegiance and existence to the CIA.
The purported 9-11 ringleader - Mohammed Atta - according to ABC news, was financed by "unnamed sources in Pakistan." According to Agence France Presse and the Times of India, an official Indian intelligence report informs us that the 9-11 attacks were funded by money wired to Mohammed Atta from Pakistan, by Ahmad Umar Sheikh, under orders from Pakistani intelligence chief General Mahmoud Ahmad. The report said: "The evidence we have supplied to the U.S. is of a much wider range and depth than just one piece of paper linking a rogue general to some misplaced act of terrorism." [Michel Chossudovsky]
According to the FBI in 2001, Mohammed Atta was the lead hijacker of the first plane to slam into the WTC as well as the lead conspirator. Apparently the Indian government revealed that there were money transfers from Pakistan to Mohammed Atta at the request of then ISI intelligence chief Lt-General Mahmoud Ahmad. Since then they've fitted-up several more patsies. The global war on terror is a lie.
US-NATO Agenda: The Destabilization of Pakistan by Gary Leupp:

"...But isn't it obvious that what Clinton has since at lest April been calling Pakistan's "existential threat" wouldn't be closing in on the cities of that country had the U.S. not responded to 9-11 with the knee-jerk bombing of Afghanistan and the toppling of the Taliban? President Pervez Musharraf has recalled that Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told him soon after 9-11 to "prepare to go back to the Stone Age" if he didn't cooperate with the US in the war on terrorism. The existential threat to Pakistan was the Bush administration.."

"Inside, Clinton told the audience that he's thankful for Canada's commitment to the Afghan mission. 'America's never had a better friend or ally,' he said."

A Proven Approach to Counter Terrorism in India Invincible Defense Technology
A new technology of defense now exists that can accomplish this goal. It is based upon the latest discoveries in the fields of physics, neuroscience, and physiology. Ultimately, it is based on the discovery of the unified field of all the laws of nature-the most fundamental and powerful level of nature's dynamics. Extensive research has confirmed its effectiveness. This new technology is easily applied, highly cost-effective, and can prevent disruption and attack from within the country or outside the country.
This approach is known today as the Invincible Defense Technology (IDT). It has its roots in ancient Vedic technologies of consciousness, revived in modern times by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as a non-religious approach to peace. These technologies of consciousness directly access and harness the unified field on the deepest level of human experience-pure consciousness itself. Extensive scientific research indicates that this approach reduces collective societal stress, eliminates extremism and thereby snuffs out war and terrorism. Over the past three decades it has been quietly and successfully used by members of many faiths to defuse and eliminate conflict.

Very cool, Fidel. Very cool!
