I see that the Homeland Security head is still blaming Canada for allowing the 9-11 terrorists into the US... Man, there's a rumour that just won't die, eh?

Whats the rational for blaming Canada for 9-11 terrorists into USA,wouldnt they have had to go through American customs to get into the US?

Since when did logic play a part in blaming others for your misfortunes?

If I were a Canadian Citizen I'd be asking why those nineteen guys spent months over here, attending flight schools, holding down jobs, taking martial arts classes. If the Canadians let them "slip through" why did the Americans let them become better hijackers during their long stay here?

Especially the revelations that some of the "student pilots" were not interested in learning to land air craft, just take offs and level flight. Landings are important to a lot of pilots, was when I was taking flying lessons, but then again, I wanted to survive the end of the flight.
