When I googled to verify my memory I was surprised to find Dr. Rice's name mentioned in connection with Willie Brown.
This SF Chronicle 12 Sept., 2001 column was likely the source of the talk show discussion, "Willie Brown got low-key early warning about air travel," by Phillip Matier, Andrew Ross
The column said
"In fact, at the time, he didn't pay it much mind.
"'It was not an abnormal call. I'm always concerned if my flight is going to be on time, and they always alert me when I ought to be careful.'
"Exactly where the call came from is a bit of a mystery. The mayor would say only that it came from 'my security people at the airport.'
"Mike McCarron, assistant deputy director at SFO, said the Federal Aviation Administration 'routinely' issues security notices about possible threats. He said two or three such notices have been received in the past couple of months, but none in recent days.
"Whatever the case, Brown didn't think about it again until he was up, dressed and waiting for his ride to the airport for an 8 a.m. flight to New York, where he was to attend a state retirement board meeting. That was when he turned on the TV, and like millions of other Americans, saw the twin towers of the World Trade Center crumble and the Pentagon go up in smoke." [End excerpt]
Obviously if C.R. had told Mayor Brown he would not have continued with his plans. The point is someone gave his security people the idea that there was something up.
I know that there were many Clinton pukes left over and getting them out of our government has been very difficult -- some believe that they knew but said nothing knowing that it would damage the President. One of dem Rats could have passed the word along to their king Rats.
