Bird’s Eye: In particular, we focus on two aspects. The first is the lunatic provocative theory that 9/11 was an inside job. We offer you two videos: one pro and one debunking. We report: you choose. Gary Younge looks back at the past ten years, and the decline of US hegemony. Then we look at the security fallout, on both sides of the Canada/ US border. and we wind up by reporting at the proposed security brought in by Harper…and offer a response you need to sign, for all of us.

* Can the United States move beyond the narcissism of 9/11? Gary Younge, The Guardian

Ten years later the US response to the terror attacks have clarified three things: the limits to what its enormous military power can achieve, its relative geopolitical decline and the intensity of its polarised political culture. It proved itself incapable of winning the wars it chose to fight and incapable of paying for them and incapable of coming to any consensus as to why. The combination of domestic repression at home and military aggression abroad kept no one safe, and endangered the lives of many. The execution of Osama bin Laden provoked such joy in part because almost every other American response to 9/11 is regarded as a partial or total failure.

* Canadians With Mental Illnesses Denied U.S. Entry

More than a dozen Canadians have told the Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office in Toronto within the past year that they were blocked from entering the United States after their records of mental illness were shared with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Lois Kamenitz, 65, of Toronto contacted the office last fall, after U.S. customs officials at Pearson International Airport prevented her from boarding a flight to Los Angeles on the basis of her suicide attempt four years earlier.

* Racially profiled and cuffed in Detroit

Silly me. I thought flying on 9/11 would be easy. I figured most people would choose not to fly that day so lines would be short, planes would be lightly filled and though security might be ratcheted up, we’d all feel safer knowing we had come a long way since that dreadful Tuesday morning 10 years ago.

But then armed officers stormed my plane, threw me in handcuffs and locked me up.
