Here's a tidbit I got this morning from Lars Larson. I imagine the full article is on his website www.larslarson.com:


From the Wall Street Journal’s Best of the Web
 
Vera’s policies on terrorism have madeOregonfamous again

From Madrid to Portland
The FBI has arrested aPortland,Ore., lawyer in connection with the March 11Madridbombings, the New York Times reports.Brandon Mayfield is being held as a"material witness" rather than a suspect, but "officials confirmed Thursday night. . .that Mr.Mayfield's fingerprints matched prints found on a bag in the wreckage of theMadridbombing." Mayfield is an American citizen and Muslim convert.

Why isPortlandapparently such a magnet for jihadis? Last August Maher Hawash pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy charges.As the Washington Post reported at the time, "In return for his promise to testify against six other Portland-based suspects accused of plotting in 2001 to wage war against theUnited States, federal prosecutors dropped more serious terrorism charges against Hawash."

Could this all have something to do with the Portland City Council's decision in November 2001 to refuse cooperation with federal terror investigations?

Appreciate the further information... that "he's a man of peace" stuff sounds like an attempt at deflecting attention to me.

I see I neglected to add this link:

-Islam, a Religion of Peace®? Some links...--

How I became the "homemaker" around here is a long, boring, and probably pointless story, so I'll just use the Standard 'Rat Boilerplate:

I think it's Bush's fault.
