EMERGING EVIDENCE: Iran Involved In Portland Plot!

Does 2007 letter provide a clue to Iranian involvement in Portland plot(s)? <!--break--> EMERGING EVIDENCE: Iran Involved in Portland Plot! + + + + + + + By Captain Eric H. May Intelligence Editor The Lone Star Iconoclast 12/8/2010 -- Five years ago Portland's Mayor Sam Adams supported his city's opting out of the Bush administration's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), while City Commissioner Dan Saltzman stood alone in opposition. The two have since wrestled for control of the police department, and a fresh clash began last week after an alleged Black Friday bombing attempt by Mohamed Osman Mohamud -- about which the FBI and his own police department had kept the mayor in the dark. On the Monday following the botched bombing, Saltzman issued a statement pushing for a quick return to the JTTF at today's city council meeting, while Adams made it clear that he wanted more study and deliberation. The mayor has since achieved some degree of control by gaining the commissioner's acquiescence to a meeting that will take up, but not resolve, the JTTF issue. This means that everyone involved will have time to evaluate evidence from Theresa Mitchell, host of Presswatch on Portland's Pacifica station, KBOO-FM. It adds a new twist to the tale of the city that doesn't trust the feds, who in return label the city with the outlaw nickname of Little Beirut. The Iconoclast releases it now in belief that authorities will be more disposed to examine it than they were previously. + + + + + + + On Oct. 19, 2007, Mitchell forwarded me an email that extended a frightening series of events begun a day earlier, which she described in her morning broadcast, It pays to monitor terror exercises, http://kboo.fm/node/4236. &quot;The warning of a sudden terror exercise in the refinery 'national sacrifice area' in Texas came last night; the suspicious blast came early this morning. It would appear that monitoring exercises like Vigilant Shield and TOPOFF is essential to our survival.&quot; Things continued that afternoon and evening, as the Oregonian detailed in Bomb scare disrupts terrorism drill, closes MAX line, http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingnews/2007/10/police_are_closing_off_several.html. &quot;The Topoff dirty-bomb drill turned into a real-life bomb scare this afternoon after a trio of bomb-sniffing dogs alerted authorities to possible explosives on the first floor of the parking garage of the Doubletree Hotel Portland at 1000 NE Multnomah Street. Michael Chertoff, secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, was scheduled to be at the hotel for part of the Topoff counterterrorism exercise later in the day.&quot; I present her forwarded email verbatim, and shall later offer my analysis of the Portland Plot as an amicus urbis report to mayor, council, police and media -- sometime after today's city council meeting.
