Portland Mayor Goes PC Over Terror Suspect

Fire it up

Portland Mayor Sam Adams said today that he didn't know about the investigation into a plot to detonate a bomb at the tree-lighting ceremony at Pioneer Courthouse Square last night.

Adams said he would have been notified if the bomb had been live.

"I did not know about it until 9:15 p.m. last night when I was asked to go to the FBI headquarters in Portland for a briefing," said the mayor, who also serves as police commissioner.

He said it was the same protocol followed by former Mayor Vera Katz when he served as her chief of staff.
