Screw Loose #3

At 6:16, Loose Change claims that San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown was warned not to fly on 9/11 by a phone call from Condoleezza Rice. Here's an SF Chronicle article on the supposed warning:

For Mayor Willie Brown, the first signs that something was amiss came late Monday when he got a call from what he described as his airport security - - a full eight hours before yesterday's string of terrorist attacks -- advising him that Americans should be cautious about their air travel.

The mayor, who was booked to fly to New York yesterday morning from San Francisco International Airport, said the call "didn't come in any alarming fashion, which is why I'm hesitant to make an alarming statement."

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."

Rather obvious question here: Why would Dr Rice warn Willie Brown? Even if we assume that she was in on the plot, wouldn't she then know that his flight (an 8:00 AM SF time flight to New York) was not one of the targeted planes?

There's a similar problem with the much-noted fact that Attorney General John Ashcroft began flying private planes starting in July 2001. If Ashcroft was in on the plot, then he would know which planes were going to be hijacked (or whatever the kooks think happened to the planes).
