Here's an interesting little gem from Lars Larson.
"Portland has a history rich with terrorism. Recently, Mohammed Mohammed planned to blow up a Christmas tree lighting in Pioneer Square and kill hundreds or thousands. He got 30 years in the joint. Then there was Mike Hawash, the Washington county Intel engineer who went Jihad right after 9-11. He got seven years for conspiring to aid the Taliban. Other terrorists have raised money here, and tried to set up a training base in Oregon. Yet a week from now, the Portland city council will vote on withdrawing from the FBI’s joint terrorism task force. For years, the city of roses chose not to participate at all in the JTTF. For the past three years, Portland has participated in a limited way, but Mayor Charlie Hales can’t get a security clearance and he doesn't like the fact that he doesn't know what’s going on in the task force. Yesterday, three terrorists murdered 12 in Paris and two are still running around the city of light, armed with rifles. I wonder how many Portlanders, seeing the graphic image of a terrorist, on video, executing a police officer on a Paris sidewalk as the man begged for his life, like the idea that Charlie wants to be even less equipped to detect the same kind of attack before it happens here?"
The mayor of that benighted city can’t get a security clearance ? How Portland.
That requires greater investigation but I can't do it just now. I have to go to the dentist (please, no tears. I'll be alright). I shall endeavor to look into this later 'cause I am very curious as to what that is all about.

p.s. I doubt Bambi could get a very high security clearance if he were a private citizen (which I wish he was).
A side note:
Mike Hawashis a Palestinian who Came to the US to study (probably a J-1) and do the job Americans can't won't do.
{The J-1 visa was implemented in 1961 by the Fullbright-Hays Act to promote educational and cultural exchange. There is no basic minimum qualification for the J-1 visa}
