The investigation began on Sept. 29, 2001, when a sheriff's deputy in Washington state, responding to a noise complaint, discovered some people in "Middle Eastern attire" firing weapons at a gravel pit.

The deputy made no arrests, since they were breaking no laws.

But the clothing and foreign accent of one man, a Lebanese citizen named Ali Khaled Steitiye, stuck in his mind. After Steitiye was arrested in Portland last October for having an illegal weapons cache, the deputy contacted the FBI.

Steitiye, a Hamas sympathizer who circled the date Sept. 11 in red on his calendar, was sentenced to 21/2 years in prison last month.

One of the woman suspects worked for the mayors office. The mayor, Vera Katz, is a nutjob liberal of the first degree. Just thought you should know.

There is a time for all to recognize that doing the RIGHT thing is no longer a choice.

It is an obligation.

Thanks for the ping.

This link is for those who may not be aware of the Mayor of Portland's involvment to obstruct justice in the investigation of Islamakazi Terrorists, probably these Islamakazi terrorists.

If you are not familiar with this link please go to it and spend a couple of minutes. Thanks to Sam Wolf, the Freepers were warned about this treason by this mayor.

If you live 3,000 miles away and say to yourself, that's Portland's problem. You need to wake up. Did these Islamakazis train snipers to start shooting innocent Americans thousands of miles from Portland? I think that possibility exists with any of these Islamakazis training and control sites. If you don't, you need a wakeup call.

Left wing rat mayors like Katz and the governor of Oregon can endanger Americans thousands of miles away: (Portland Mayor Katz opens Portland to Islamakazis and Obstructs Justice to Protect her beloved Islamakakis)

I heard Michael Savage screaming about that.

BTW, Patrice Lumumbo was a Congolese commie murderer who we zapped in the 1960s. The Soviet Union named their Moscow "international university" (of subversion and terrorism) after him. It's as commie a name as Lenin or Che or Mau.

Thanks for posting that. It's those little tidbits of knowledge that make FR so great for seeing past the headlines!

This latest Patrice Lumombo's daddy was a head of the Black Panther party in the 60s.
