Is the Mayor of Columbus being used as a political tool by the federal government?

Tuesday, May 18th 2010: Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman visited the White House for a security meeting. The meeting focused on the large Somali population in Columbus and online recruiting for terrorist activities in the US. Remember Nuradin Abdi (scroll till you see NEFA Series "Target America": The Columbus Mall Plot)? Christopher Paul? Iyman Faris?

So he attends the meeting behind closed doors (while Mexican President Calderon is in town) and the very first day back in Columbus he states the immigration law in Arizona is "un-American" and will no longer fund city trips to the state. Coincidence? Judge for yourself.

UPDATE: The mayors of Minneapolis, and St. Paul, were in attendance and are now in on it too. The jury is still out on Cory Booker (Newark NJ).
