I put up the AP wire also.

Does Portland have a light Rail system?

Wonder if they were going to try a Spain type attack here.

Now Los Angeles has a light rail and Subways also.

Isikoff at Newsweek got the leak:

"...The man was identified as Brandon Mayfield, a convert to Islam who is tangentially linked to one of the chief defendants in the so-called “Portland Seven” case—a suspected terror cell in Oregon whose six surviving members pled guilty last year of plotting to fight for the Taliban against U.S. soldiers during the war in Afghanistan.

Sources said that Mayfield had been under round-the-clock surveillance by the FBI for some time. According to law-enforcement sources, he was picked up by agents in Portland today and is being held as a “material witness” in a Grand Jury investigation—a status that allows the Justice Department to hold him in secret without formally filing charges against him...."

Why, they in fact do. Rode on it last summer. I haven't ridden on a lot of LR systems, but this one seemed to be fairly extensive, i.e. you could get around the city fairly well and it was extensively used by the population.

Why, yes, we do! Quite a few routes and quite a few riders. New one just opened over the weekend. That aside - Why Portland?! First our "Portland seven", now this! How many other terrorists are walking our streets - this is rediculous.

Portland has an excellent metro system.

I doubt if they planned to take out/destroy anything in Portland.

Portland, thanks to the liberal mayor, city council and citizens who hate America has become a haven/sanctuary for these Islamo animals.

So they probably stay in Portland on welfare or have a job with the city and plan to kill people around the world.

I hope people read these articles and remind themselves what it is we--and the people in Iraq and Afghanistan--are up against. We don't have to condone what happened in the Iraqi prison, but we also need to consider that we're all living in extraordinary circumstances--even more so over there. I'm afraid the reasons we're there are going to be lost in all the condemnations.

yup...
and it is underground subway/tunnel for about 5 miles. between sunset transit and goose hollow... under the west hills.

would not suprise me at all to find out this puke worked directly for vera katz the lesbocommie mayor... or if he was friends with diane "queer marriage" lynn of multnomah county either.

PORTLAND NEEDS SOME MAJOR FBI-CIA-HOMSEC SECRUTINY... feds need to wake the heck up.

If so, it would just be a repeat of Madrid in that...
they'd be bombing some of their most ardent supporters/accomadators/appeasers!

But Los Angeles only has "pretend" terrorist threats from guys named Mohammad.

Such kidders, these folks.
