Thread Name: Homeland Security??????? For shame!!
Subject: RE: Homeland Security??????? For shame!!
Mick - I am surprised that you are spreading gossip! This is a myth that was de-bunked, long ago. I am amazed that people in the U.S. still believe this lie.

"Where did the terrorists who killed 3500+ people sneak into the country from? Canada."

As far as I'm concerned, that statement makes this whole, entire thread bogus.

"The mistaken belief about the 9-11 terrorists persists in the United States, despite all evidence to the contrary. U.S. officials and the commission that studied the attacks have pointed out the inaccuracy.

High-profile U.S. conservative Newt Gingrich apologized to Canadians last spring after telling Fox News: "Far more of the 9-11 terrorists came across from Canada than from Mexico."

In fact, none of the terrorists entered the United States from either country."
