Reminding smaller cities that they too could be targets of terrorist attacks, real or imagined, would be enough to cause a jerk-reflex of fear across the country.

Why pick the peaceful and leisurely city of Portland for a drill? Because it's a breeding ground for domestic terrorism. The town is full of Bush hating left-wingers with green hair who don't support our administration, don't support the troops, people who eat organic, abort their children, build their own electric cars and use public transportation and stage "Save the Earth" and "End the War" protests on the streets like Democracy was some kind of circus. Rainbows everywhere by the way. Flag burners.

It's clearly the most logical place where we would expect the next major terrorist attack, maybe from a new breed of home-grown domestic terrorists. Or isn't it? After all - if the article is true - they did pick it for a drill.

Regarding the official version of the events on 9/11, I'm not sure how anyone can be completely free of doubts about what happened, after having a look at some of the indisputable facts of that day. Maybe it's because the implications of going there are too far-reaching. We may never know what happened, but we know what didn't happen.

Opinions aside, Jim, I'd really be interested to hear your comments on the points discussed in this documentary. Maybe, when you have time.

The right-wingers are morons? I'm not one of them, because they don't represent my interests, but if there is anything I know it's that they are NOT morons when it comes to pursuing their interests. Left-wingers look like a bunch of disorganized morons by comparison.
