Firefighters Burn Giuliani (Releasing 13 Minute Video Wednesday)
Source: ABC News

ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: "America's Mayor" is about to come under attack.

The nation's largest firefighters union is set to launch a video on Wednesday that seeks to tarnish former mayor Rudolph Giuliani's reputation as a strong leader before and after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The 13-minute video -- set for distribution to firefighters and the general public courtesy of the International Association of Fire Fighters -- uses interviews with New York City firefighters and families of 9/11 victims to argue that Giuliani has exaggerated his record as mayor.

"He's running on his 9/11 leadership and it was lacking -- and there was none," Jim Riches, a deputy chief in the New York Fire Department and a father of one of the 9/11 victims, says on the video, according to a transcript obtained by ABC News. "I blame Giuliani. He was the leader that day. And he was the leader for the eight years leading up to that."

The documentary-style video -- titled "Rudy Giuliani: Urban Legend" -- specifically criticizes Giuliani for failing to ensure that firefighters had working radios; placing the city emergency command center in the World Trade Center even after the 1993 terrorist attack at the Twin Towers; and Giuliani's decision to abandon efforts to recover remains of dead firefighters as he sought a quick clean-up of Ground Zero.

6. Shouldn't he be in PRISON?
Interfering with the NTSB in an accident investigation is a go-to-jail felony under the National Traffic Safety Act, which created the NTSB. Yet Giuliani completely denied the NTSB access to Ground Zero. Shouldn't he be in jail?

9. Difference between these firefighters
and the swifties. As Sam Rayburn said "If you quit lying about us we'll quit telling the truth about you". The swifties lied, these guys are telling the truth. A friend, a retired NYPD cop likes to say, were it not for 9/11 it would be Rudy who?

15. Is this a IFAA partisan thing, or do the FDNY just hate the guy?
For example, the NEA and AFT always support Dems. Is this just another situation like that, or is there something deeper going on?

17. They hate him because he a criminal
and a horrible mayor and from all evidence was at least involved with covering up the false flag attack of 9/11 if not was in on it from the beginning.

Bet except for perhaps Countdown it shows up on no cable news shows. But remember how endlessly they ran the Swift Boater's crap? I just watched it and it should be devastating to Rudy. Wonder if he'll still be doing photo ops with firefighters across the country?
