FILE - This is a Monday, Feb. 6, 2012 file photo of Anders Behring Breivik, a right-wing extremist who confessed to a bombing and mass shooting that killed 77 people on July 22, 2011, as arrives for a detention hearing at a court in Oslo, Norway. Norwegian prosecutors on Wednesday March 7, 2012 indicted Anders Behring Breivik on terror and murder charges for slaying 77 people in a bomb and shooting rampage but said the confessed mass killer likely won't go to prison for the country's worst peacetime massacre. Prosecutors said they consider the 33-year-old right-wing extremist psychotic and will seek a sentence of involuntary commitment to psychiatric care instead of imprisonment unless new information about his mental health emerges during the trial set to start in April.

Another day that lives in infamy

Last updated Monday, September 12, 2011 - 6:18pm

It has been 10 years since the attacks now known as 9/11.

Sept. 11, 2001, was an event that drastically changed all of our lives. It escalated the war that we are still fighting this very day. It also changed our everyday lives in many ways, like the way we travel, watch the news and look at other cultures.

Few of us can get the images out of our heads and many of us avoid listening to the news about the event and the war. After 10 Septembers of distancing myself from 9/11, I was due for a reminder.
