Everyone's bashing the guy for warning the public, I want to know what everyone will be saying if something does happen and this is a "credible" threat. First off the FBI is not saying it is not credible, but rather that they are "investigating it", sounds more like "We know we just don't want you to", if it really was nothing I would think they would come straight out and say it. I personly work underneath the Bay Bridge and would rather know that there was a threat and that it never happens then to rely on a handfull of highway patroll armed with pistols and shotguns trying to stop a driving tanker with a bomb and a suicidal driver at the wheel, there would be no arrest, just an early explosion. What worries me more is that the fedral govt. didn't consider this a threat worthy of public knowledge. What then is worthy for the public?

"...at 8:40am this mornig a truck bomb destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge."

Think about what you're saying, this isn't a game these are people's lives. I'll be working from home tomarow and if something does actully happen, this "doofus" will have saved my life.

Personally I think Davis is a puke, but I admire him for at least saying what the terrorist threats are... something the FBI and Ashcroft have yet to do, which is needlessly scaring the public IMHO.

"In the morning news, it was revealed the threat was SINGLE SOURCED. It was revealed, illustrated with FBI audio, before the events of 9/11 such a threat would *not* be announced. It was revealed the threat covers SIX Western US SUSPENSION bridges--and not limited to CA. The bridges were not named. EIGHT governors were warned. Davis extended that to include the major CA bridges. Among those is the Coronado bridge in San Diego which is *NOT* a suspension bridge.

From another thread about an MSNBC report. Hence, the cynicism. Plus, we're talking about Grayout Davis. An opportunist who has done nothing except raise money for himself and tried to bankrupt California. With that said, yes, the public should know of matters that will save lives. This does not appear to be one. Rather, it is political posturing on the advice of hacks--paid for by California taxpayers to boot....

What if Davis's big mouth just blew the chance to nab the terrorists? What if they are now diverting their efforts elsewhere since their plan was discovered? What if we don't get another good chance to nail the guys and end up getting hit later , over and over by these guys, because we blew the one chance we had before they knew their communications had been penetrated and who in their network was the one who was compromised?

Then Davis would not have saved you- he would instead ahve subjected many more people to danger.
