Obviously that does not mean she is terrorist friendly, but, her behavior since 9/11 makes me believe she is terrorist friendly. And, knowing her what little I did, it doesn't surprise me. She frequently, through the years, sided with what she viewed as the PC popular view. In socialist, far left Portland,OR viewing any poor downtrodden Muslim in anything but a loving light is so anti-PC. Vera refused to cooperate with the FBI shortly after 9/11 when they asked for help on local levels. Vera forbid her police force, or anyone under her jurisdiction to cooperate with them. She was very vocal on this point. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she still believes the the notorious "Portland 6" are totally innocent (found guilty of terrorist ties). It was one of these Portland 6 that worked for Vera.
