Brown's warning: In the five years since 9/11, the question of how then-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown got a warning about flying that day continues to live on in the blogosphere -- and conspiracy theories abound. The latest version is that Condoleezza Rice alerted me personally,'' Brown said this week. "It's all part of the ongoing myth." The "myth" has its origins in the night before the attacks, when Brown called "my security people at the airport'' to check on his flight to New York the next morning. What the mayor got from his source was a warning that Americans should be concerned about traveling.
(1:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001: Hours Before Attacks, San Francisco Mayor Receives Warning
Eight hours prior to the attacks, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown receives a warning from “my security people at the airport,” advising him to be cautious in traveling. [San Francisco Chronicle, 9/12/2001] Later reports claim that this is because someone saw the State Department warning of September 7 (see September 7, 2001), which focused on the threat to military personnel in Asia. Brown is scheduled to fly to New York the next morning. [US Department of State, 9/7/2001; San Francisco Chronicle, 9/12/2001; San Francisco Chronicle, 9/14/2001] The source of the warning, and why it was personally issued to Brown, remains unknown.

Actually the report is from the SF Chronicle, and was then picked up by Pacifica Radio.

Source: 911 Timeline, stickied at the top of the board. Good source for unbiased info.
Also, don't forget those text messages from the Israeli telecom firm telling people not to come in; that was firmly traced.

Any evidence beyond www.prisonplanet.com?
I don't mean to attack but I don't consider him an unbiased source.
And no where does it say Condolezza Rice called him, nor does it say he was told not to fly. Of course in the world of the 9/11 conspiracy theorist, those facts do not matter.
Then you mention Odigo...and claim that people were told not to come in, saying it was "firmly traced" Umm, no it wasnt.
Two workers in ISRAEL received messages that something was going to happen. NEVER was there a warning to WTC workers NOT to come to work that day.

Testy today, Swampy. Nowhere did I say Condoleeeeezza called him either. Give it a rest for once.

Oh, so people in Israel are immune to 911 suspicion? ROFLMA. You confirm my post and drip scorn on it at the same time. A bit schizo, non?

something going to happen? The 2 messages they received warned them of a terrorist attack on the WTC in NY on 9/11.. Odigo got the FBI involved to trace IP's etc and that's where the story ends...
or what about those israeli guys filming the whole event in NY and later confirming on israeli TV that they were documenting the whole thing.
All coincidence?
peace,

Because maybe public figures have more important things to do rather than discuss everything that internet/"alternative" media lunatics claim about them?
I mean hell, half of them wouldnt be able to do anything else IF they challenged everything.

Apparently you are missing the point that Brown stated he was warned, no internet lunatic came up with that.
The fact that the Mayor was flying to New York on 9/11/01 and was warned to be careful by someone and no one is revealing who made that call is important, and it is not too much to expect some answers on who made that call considering what happened on that day.
Someone picked up a phone and made that call and warned the mayor to be careful on 9/11/01 when he was flying to New York, they apparently thought it was important enough to speak to his security people about it, risking being considered a threat themselves by even making the call, unless of course they had a name that would automatically eliminate them as a potential threat.
