Refering back to the article cited in my last post look at this;

"In August, Rep. Ruben Hinojosa (D-Tex.) declared to a congressional committee -- and repeated in a press release -- that "as we all know, terrorists entered the U.S. from Canada on Sept. 11, 2001, using passports that the Canadians accepted as valid despite the fact that the documents were doctored.""

Now he later retracted it because it wasn't true, but think about it for a moment. Even if he was right, he claimed that "terrorists entered the U.S. from Canada on Sept. 11, 2001, using passports that the Canadians accepted as valid despite the fact that the documents were doctored." So he thought it was Canada's fault that the US allegedly allowed these terrorists in using doctored passports. You'd think that if this dunce had the brains to get elected he'd be able to figure out the absurdity of his allegation. No surprise that it turned out to be a total crock.
