"FBI tactics in Oregon bomb plot criticized; Residents wonder if suspect was entrapped in plan" by Nigel Duara, Associated Press / November 30, 2010
PORTLAND, Ore.— Some residents of this famously liberal city are unnerved, not only by a plot to bomb an annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony last week but also by government tactics in the case.

They questioned whether federal agents crossed the line by training Mohamed O. Mohamud, 19, a Somali-American, to blow up a bomb, giving him $3,000 cash to rent an apartment, and providing him with a fake bomb.
The FBI affidavit “was a picture painted to make the suspect sound like a dangerous terrorist,’’ said Portland photographer Rich Burroughs. “I don’t think it’s clear at all that this person would have ever had access to even a fake bomb if not for the FBI.’’
Attorney General Eric Holder defended the agents yesterday, rejecting entrapment accusations.
The guy also defended waterboarding so his credibility is zero.
Once the undercover operation began, Mohamud, who officials said had no formal ties to foreign terrorist groups, “chose at every step to continue’’ with the bombing plot, Holder said....
Who thought the Obama administration would be different?
At a time when people are focused on body scans and intrusive pat-downs to prevent terrorist attacks, some Portlanders wondered if the FBI had gone too far and unnecessarily scared residents.
“What is distressing about the incident is not so much that the FBI arrested or otherwise intervened,’’ said resident Joe Clement, 24, “but that the FBI used him to create a scenario that scared a lot of people.’’

And they "missed" all the warning signs coming in from field offices before 9/11, 'eh?
And Mueller is still there.
It is not unusual in Portland for actions by federal agents to be met with skepticism and criticism.
Portland must be a bunch of subversive terrorists then, 'eh?
Portland was the first city in the nation to pull its officers from the FBI’s terrorism task force in 2005. The move came after the FBI wrongfully arrested a Portland attorney as a suspect in the 2004 Madrid train bombings — a mistake that prompted an FBI apology.
The FBI set up a sting to investigate Mohamud after receiving a tip.
Two undercover federal agents led Mohamud to believe that he could detonate a bomb with a cellphone, helped him choose an apartment in Portland, and instructed him to buy the equipment necessary to trigger the fake device.
Authorities say Mohamud parked a van full of explosives near the square on Friday night and was arrested shortly after he dialed a cellphone that he thought would blow up the bomb. Mohamud has been charged with attempting to detonate a weapon of mass destruction.
A fire on Sunday destroyed part of the Salman Al-Farisi Islamic Center in Corvallis, a college town about 75 miles southwest of Portland where Mohamud occasionally worshipped while attending Oregon State. No one was injured.
Police believe the fire was intentionally set and increased patrols around mosques and other Islamic sites in Portland.
Gee, who coulda done that, duh!!!!!!!?
At a news conference in Washington, Holder also said the FBI was investigating the fire. If the blaze is related to the arrest or to an attack on Islam, it “is something that I personally decry,’’ Holder said.
“It is not something that is consistent with who we are as Americans,’’ he said.
Neither is all the heavy-handed fascista frauds you are tossing at us!
While leaders in the Somali community in the United States condemned the plot, some, including a friend of Mohamud, were concerned about federal agents possibly luring him into breaking the law.

"Informant’s infiltration of mosque backfires on FBI; Strains agency’s relations with Muslim groups" by Jerry Markon, Washington Post / December 12, 2010
IRVINE, Calif. — In the Irvine case, the undercover FBI informant's mission as an informant backfired. Muslims were so alarmed by his talk of violent jihad that they obtained a restraining order against him.
He had helped build a terrorism-related case against a mosque member, but that also collapsed. The Justice Department recently took the extraordinary step of dropping charges against the worshiper....
Compounding the damage, Monteilh has gone public, revealing secret FBI methods and charging that his “handlers’’ trained him to entrap Muslims. He is now suing the FBI.
Officials declined to comment on details of Monteilh’s tale but confirm that he was a paid FBI informant. Court records and interviews corroborate not only that Monteilh worked for the FBI — he says he made $177,000, tax-free, in 15 months — but that he provided vital information on a number of cases.
I hope the LIES and FRAUD are WORTH IT, tapped-out AmeriKan taxpayers!!!
Some Muslims said the cascading revelations have damaged their relationship with the FBI, a partnership that both sides agree is critical to preventing attacks and home-grown terrorism....
It saddens me that the Muslim community buys into this s***.
Hey, Muslims didn't do 9/11; Israel (and their dual-national, double-agent allies in the AmeriKan government) did.
Shakeel Syed, executive director of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California, said, “They got a guy, a bona fide criminal, and obviously trained him and sent him to infiltrate mosques,’’ Syed said. “And when things went sour, they ditched him and he got mad. It’s like a soap opera, for God’s sake.’
FBI and Justice Department officials said the Monteilh case is not representative of their relations with the Muslim community and that they continue to work closely with Muslims in investigating violence and other hate crimes against them. Officials also credit US Muslims with reporting critical information in a variety of counterterrorism cases.
Of course, the five dancing Israelis are sent back to Israel.
The bureau “relies on the support, cooperation, and trust of the communities it serves and protects,’’ FBI spokesman Michael Kortan said....
Anybody smell s***?
Monteilh’s career as an informant began in 2003. He had just finished a sentence for forging bank notes when local police he met at a gym asked him to infiltrate drug gangs and white supremacist groups for a federal-state task force.
ANOTHER GOVERNMENT CREATION and GOING CONCERN!!
“It was very exciting,’’ Monteilh said in an interview with the Washington Post. “I had the ability to be a chameleon.’’
In early 2006, Monteilh said, he met with his FBI handler at a Starbucks.
“She asked if I wanted to infiltrate mosques,’’ he said. At a follow-up session at a doughnut shop, he said, his new handler told him that “Islam is a threat to our national security.’’
So we REALLY ARE WAGING WAR on ISLAM despite what spew comes from government and media mouth.

Why does the FBI Orchestrate Fake Terror Plots?
The answer is many agendas. One agenda is to justify wars of aggression that are war crimes under the Nuremberg standard created by the US government itself. One way to avoid war crimes charges is to create acts of terrorism that justify the naked aggressions against "terrorist countries."
Another agenda is to create a police state. A police state can control people who object to their impoverishment for the benefit of the superrich much more easily than can a democracy endowed with constitutional civil liberties.
Another agenda is to get rich. Terror plots, whether real or orchestrated, have created a market for security....
Sorry, but I am no longer falling for FBI frame-ups -- and never will again.
"In Oregon, police were searching for a man accused of shooting a police officer last week.
For four days, the tiny coastal town of Waldport swarmed with dozens of police as three SWAT teams hunted for David Anthony Durham of Portland, 43....
Authorities hope clues on Durham’s whereabouts will come from television’s “America’s Most Wanted,’’ which mentioned the case Saturday night. Investigators said that they received two tips after the program, but that neither appeared likely to lead to Durham.

From outrageous to obnoxious:
Plastic-bag ban considered
GRANTS PASS — State lawmakers will consider whether the state should become the first to pass a ban on plastic bags, a measure recycling advocates believe would trigger a domino effect among other states. A bipartisan bill would outlaw throwaway plastic checkout bags at all retail stores in Oregon, a state that is already a leader in passing green legislation. Shoppers would be forced to bring their own bag or pay a nickel apiece for recycled paper bags (AP)."
I must confess I always get plastic because someone had to have a job making those.
