uk tv hits giuliani on 9/11 record


from raw replay: Channel 4 News Correspondent Sarah Smith takes a look at the Giuliani record in New York City. The report is critical of Giuliani’s record on crime but saves the sharpest jabs for his performance surrounding the 9/11 attacks...

Giuliani spent $60m on the command centre in the World Trade Centre. He installed a humidor for his cigars, monogrammed towels in bathroom, even had private elevator which was handy when he brought his mistress here at the weekends. But he also installed a 600 gallon fuel tank which meant that when burning debris hit the building it went up like a blowtorch.”
