"I'm amazed that the president would make this (announcement) on national TV and not inform us of these details through the appropriate channels," the mayor said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I don't expect a call from the president — but somebody."

I can only assume that the previous mayor was notifed. Who cares about this moron.

"Sen. John Kerry endorsed Villaraigosa at an April 30 appearance by the two at Los Angeles Valley Community College. Villaraigosa served as a vice chairperson for Kerry’s 2004 bid to defeat George W. Bush.

The Kerry endorsement added to a growing list of progressive and liberal leaders supporting Villaraigosa, including Reps. Maxine Waters and Henry Waxman, both Democrats in Congress, and Los Angeles City Council President Alex Padilla."

The West Coast plot isn't exactly a new revelation. The Mayor must not have a very good attention span.

Hey, Antonio:

'Sears Tower was next on Qaeda list'
The Times of India ^ | March 30 2004

WASHINGTON: Chicago's Sears Tower and Los Angeles' Library Tower were to be the next targets after the terrorist attacks on World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, Al-Qaeda's puported operations chief Khalid Shiekh Mohammed now in detention, has told US interrogators, media reports said on Tuesday.

The plan for Chicago and Los Angeles were aborted because of the decisive US response to the New York and Washington attacks, Sheikh reportedly told the investigators, the Washington Times said quoting a British newspaper.

The US response disrupted the terrorist organisations' plans so thoroughly that it could not proceed, he said.

I work in the building next to the Library Tower in downtown Los Angeles. We knew it was a target right after 9/11, why didn't he know? He was not the mayor then, but he couldn't be that naive . . . could he? Maybe he doesn't listen to the local TV stations or read the L.A. Times.
