see video: CNN/YouTube Republican Debate: Giuliani 9/11 Question Giuliani claims, "American foreign policy had nothing to do with the September 11th. September 11th happened because these people who hate us, hate us because of the freedoms that we have." Giuliani is lying to us. "The politicians really are at great fault for not squaring with the American people. We're being attacked for what we do in the Islamic world, not for who we are or what we believe in or how we live. And there's a huge burden of guilt to be laid at Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, both parties for simply lying to the American people." - Michael Scheuer, Former CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief

…Just one thing to add, because I’ve had some experiences with some of the big guns at the IAFF. Their anti-endorsement of Giuliani should not be taken lightly. They are one of the few unions that really tries to focus on which candidate is best for them, rather than which candidate most advances Democratic Party policies. They truly are perfectly comfortable endorsing a Republican if he is going to help firefighters in particular; whether he will help unions in general is a minimal consideration for them.

The IAFF really does what it can to avoid burning bridges, even with Republicans. So when they come out with harsh words for a candidate like this, it means the candidate has really, really pissed them off.
