The point is this: Governor Davis got some bad intel on bridges, paniced, jumped through his butt and scared the krep out of most Californians in the process.It is time to be QUIETLY watchful, not go ape-sh*t over every rumor.
Every civilian needs to remember that there are no civilians in this fight! We are all targets for OBL, and rumors and panic are our enemies. Remember movie "1942?"
We need to cut down on the bad poop rumors, keep our eyes and ears open, make reasoned decisions and take the proper action (includung dropping the dime) after making a smart, not paniced, threat analysis.
Many FReepers are former military and vast majority have our cranial cavities screwed on tight. We can be a help, or we can be rumormongers.
Let's show the REMFs what focussed citizenry can do.

It seems to be the nature of Governor Davis to give in to panic and lose control. That is why he contracted for long term contracts for electricity at huge prices for a very short term problem. The taxpayers of Kalifornia will be paying for his panic for years. He is clearly not fit to be an executive of anything, much less a large state.

Red Davis has a small fraction of the moral and intellectual stature of a half-starved weasel in heat.

Governor Clueless suffers from 'poll flacidity' and Dosomthing Desease! The shameful "I, Chicken Little, am in charge here!" routine of Thursday is only surpassed by the "I, Mr. Wizard, am in charge here!" bit he used during our energy crisis (of his making!). If Grayout Davis is in charge of Kalifornia's security we might as well learn to play Taps...we're all gonna DIE!

My worst fear is this...The Bureau provided info strictly for the use of law enforcement and emergency management personnel. Surely they would not have provided such info, had it not come from a reasonably reliable source. The fact that Davis went public with it probably compromised the source of the info, and that may have been one of the very few sources we have been able to cultivate amongst the terros already in our midst.
