The Governor of California, Gray Davis, decided on his own on Thursday to make public a confidential warning that had been conveyed to him and to seven other western states by the FBI on Wednesday. The warning said terrorists might be planning attacks on suspension bridges on the West Coast, beginning yesterday.

The Governor's announcement, made at a hastily arranged press conference, triggered charges yesterday that he was overreacting and sowing panic unnecessarily among Californians.

Talked with Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe this afternoon, he says he and the rest of the BOS and the county sheriff had to find out about this by HEARING IT ON THE RADIO to get the county Emergency Ops Center rolling - Davis hadn't bothered telling them a damn thing.

Thank you for the info! And bravo to you for taking action!

BTW, gray has never announced any of the hundreds of "unconfirmed" threats he receives daily regarding Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Pro-Football stadiums, etc.

Noooo, Gray picked the bridges --- traffic jams being the norm.
