The host is Roger Hedgecock out of San Diego. A caller also pointed out that among the terrorists recently arrested in Portland, was one who was caught shooting in a gravel pit shortly after 9/11/2001 due to a noise complaint. He was with others, all dressed in ME garb.

These kinds of shootings were supposedly part of al Qaeda's gameplan--I remember reading about this maybe a month ago or more.

None of the articles I saw on FR mentioned that. I posted one over here.

On the evening of Sept. 29, 2001, a citizen called the Skamania County Sheriff's Department to report that gun shots were heard at a gravel pit on private property.

Skamania County Deputy Sheriff Mark Mercer discovered Battle, Ford, Ahmed Bilal, Al Saoub and several other men of Middle Eastern descent at the gravel pit target shooting.

They were using a 12-gauge Remington 870 shotgun; a 30:06 rifle with scope; a Chinese SKS 7.62 assault rifle; a Kel-Tec 9mm, semiautomatic pistol and a Makarov 9mm semiautomatic pistol, according to the indictment.

...

Bryan said the group was discovered shooting at the gravel pit wearing long, flowing white robes that are often worn in Middle Eastern countries because of the heat.

"It was two weeks after 9/11. You don't see men dressed in that sort of attire with those weapons around here. It just stood out," Bryan said.

When asked why they weren't charged at the gravel pit, Bryan said, "Technically, they were trespassing, certainly, that's not the crime of the century."

The men in Oregon came to the attention of authorities when a neighbor reported hearing guns firing. They were indeed practicing in a quarry.

However, according to Whorealdo.....sooooo, they haven't done anything so why are they arrested......similar to Couric's comment about the NY State 5......so they attended terror training camps, what else do you have that would suggest they are terrorists?????
