Actually, Seattle's Columbia Center - about 80 stories - was on the 9/11 group's original hit list, but was dropped because they didn't have enough pilots to hit all the targets they wanted to hit. The Columbia Center, about sixty yards from where I'm sitting, is absolutely wide open to the south.

You do have an excellent point. :-) However I argue that they will probably take easy targets and maybe integrate more difficult targets as well for impact reasons. When one is trying to kill Americans, even friends are subject to death. For heck sake, these are people that take their own lives. Why should they care about the lives of their allies? Until Seattle and Portland become completely Muslim they are at risk.
