WASHINGTON — Montana Senator Conrad Burns said Tuesday he "misspoke" when he claimed terrorists involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks entered the United States from Canada.

Ambassador Frank McKenna demanded a retraction from Burns on Monday after the senator said: "We've got to remember that the people who first hit us in 9-11 entered this country through Canada."

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.

It's nice to know Canada's ambassadors aspire to do more than attend state dinners, suck back raw oysters, and drink champagne. As in: EXPOSING LIARS FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

1. Good for McKenna

He jumped on that statement right away and DEMANDED a retraction.

We don't feel like playing nice with these crooks anymore, especially when they're slandering us.

3. we need more american Democrats to act like that :-)

and I like dems, the more assertive (versus aggressive) the better. And there is a big
difference between being assertive and being agressive.

2. Burns did not "misspeak" - he does not do his homework.

He is an idiot and a moran. I hope he loses his seat. What an embarrassment for Montana.
