And, given the penchant for the Federal government to lie to us if it makes them look good (cf. Jessica Lynch, Pat Tillman, etc.)there is enough reason to suspect their motives in this case. <br /><br />Maybe it was because there were too many white Christian terrorists (such as the Turnidges)showing up in the news they had to make sure and catch a Muslim in the act.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-71787375052864821392010-11-29T08:09:51.042-08:002010-11-29T08:09:51.042-08:00this is cia at its best theres no outside terroris...this is cia at its best theres no outside terrorists in the united snakes only the inside terrorists the united snakes itself wakeup!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-76740764904160021582010-11-29T00:54:50.150-08:002010-11-29T00:54:50.150-08:00And I feel truly angry that, if this is true, he w...And I feel truly angry that, if this is true, he would attempt to kill so many people, regardless of motives or who set him up.Mari Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245944863761903118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-33501046861531643622010-11-28T20:46:53.864-08:002010-11-28T20:46:53.864-08:00To get to what IF I need to wade through what WAS....To get to what IF I need to wade through what WAS. Like Sheik Mohamed Abdirahman Kariye having "explosives" in his luggage and being imprisoned for same...only to find out that those charges were false.<br /><br />Or, like Brandon Mayfield being erroneously linked to 2004 Madrid bombings. Oops again!<br /><br />Or, Randy Weaver being set up by the FBI and suffering the loss of family who were gunned down by same (if I recall correctly). <br /><br />Or, my very own son - who decided to launch a "potato gun" on what he did not realize was airport property. The FBI swooped in, confiscated computers, tapped phone lines, and followed him and his friend who was also involved EVERYWHERE. I feel that this stress contributed to his friend's suicide, and I know that it caused my son to flee cross country. For. A. Potato. Gun. <br /><br />What about COINTELPRO?? <br /><br />The FBI is known for stirring up trouble. <br /><br />What might be the motives? Well, Portland is a liberal, tolerant bastion. "Ha ha Portland libs - now what do you think?" Perhaps a government wants to make an example of those of us who reject its intrusion into our lives, phone lines, and email accounts and reject the terror they wish to instill into us. Now maybe PDX will COMPLY with the full body xrays (no way - they have to touch my junk).<br /><br />On the other hand, if this young man truly did this thing, then shame on him. Look at the backlash other Somalis and Muslims might have to endure as a result. Lock him up and throw away the key!<br /><br />May we know the truth.Mari Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245944863761903118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-29645628521041871462010-11-28T16:52:17.188-08:002010-11-28T16:52:17.188-08:00Regardless of the motivations for this kid's a...Regardless of the motivations for this kid's actions, or the results of the FBI's sting operation, the most important thing is TO CONTINUE TO BE VERY AFRAID!

You who choose to blame the police/FBI/etc. for all these loons' behavior are just as scary to me as this idiot jihadist. We do need to discern good vs. evil...you obviously portray authority as always evil. I for one, applaud the authorities who put this terrorist away.

Wonder why they waited to arrest him but it seems advantageous to have waited if they wanted citizens to be afraid....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-65421512998864696852010-11-28T09:40:15.153-08:002010-11-28T09:40:15.153-08:00Thanks for the sanity Dade!Thanks for the sanity Dade!Wylienoreply@blogger.com
