Well, there is an agenda here. Both McCain and Napolitano want the borders tightened. Particularly the southern one, but if they can spread the myth that the 9/11 hijackers came from Canada they can point to that and say "See. We need more funding to protect our borders." They both are from Arizona which is in desperate need of more money for border security given the drug related crime crossing over into their state from Mexico. But that is not sufficient to get federal money.... if they can somehow get the spectre of terrorism mixed in there, they might get the money they want.
Ken Dryden, explaining Stephen Colbert's word "truthiness":
Dryden defined truthiness as "something that is spoken as if true that one wants others to believe is true, that said often enough with enough voices orchestrated in behind it, might even sound true, but is not true."

Reason: Mis-spelled the word 'the'. Oi.
