This is where those 200 FBI agents should have been. Not Oregon.

I had a vacation home in the Poconos for over 20 years. The locals are the baddest weed growing, meth cooking, skilled trades working, self sufficient people capable of shooting, shoveling, and shutting up when it comes to what they might consider “undesirables”.I would be very cautious as a jihadi boy lurking about Pike or Wayne Counties.

Lake Wallenpaupack has some spots over 600 feet deep. The woods are so dense in growth you can't turn and walk five feet without getting swallowed up in bramble and tripping on those damned boulders.

I once ran into a guy driving a tractor with a red, blood soaked rag around his hand. I asked him if he was ok? He said "sure! Just finishing these ten acres of hay to be put up". Two fingers were cut off his hand from the haybine in an accident. He wanted to finish the job before he went to the hospital because he didn't want the night dew to ruin his cut of hay, letting it go unbaled.

I used to fly into Cherry Ridge airport, where we kept a car. We saw some of the most scary people flying in and out of the airport! It's no big skill, but many were at night with no runway or landing lights.

It's a narco-corridor for New York, Philly, Newark, etc....

Don’t know much about Gulen aside from what I’ve read in the national and local press, but it’s clear he is an avowed enemy of the Erdogan government. The Erdogan government is becoming increasingly Islamist, so I’m giving Gulen a pass for the moment.

Not being up on Turkish politics, I’m assuming a cautiously optimistic “enemy of my enemy” stance for the time being. :)
