    Canadian parliament shows some common sense and decides against renewing two anti-terror measures that were put into place after the 9/11 attacks says the BBC. Canadian PM Harper used the US White House line by saying that opposition Liberals' were soft on terror.

The measures allowed suspects to be detained without charge for three days and could compel witnesses to testify.

The minority Conservative government accused the opposition Liberals of being soft on terror.

The vote comes days after the Supreme Court revoked a law allowing foreign suspects to be detained indefinitely.
