Giuliani Heckled
From Reuters:
Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani on Wednesday passionately defended local firefighters and police after the rescue departments' response to Sept. 11 received sharp criticism from the commission investigating the attacks...
Angry hecklers in the audience, which included family members of victims, lashed out at Giuliani and the commission, saying they were dodging the tough questions about what went wrong in 2001.
One woman cried, "My son was murdered." Another man shouted "talk about the radios" -- a reference to communications problems on the day of the attacks.
One man was removed from the room after he demanded time to question the mayor, screaming: "Three thousand people murdered does not mean leadership. ... Let me ask the real questions."
What are these people hoping to gain by trashing the FDNY and NYPD? Is all this finger pointing going to do anything to make this country safer?
And how on earth does anybody think that the FDNY and NYPD are responsible for any of the deaths on 9/11? I don't see why any of the personnel of these fine agencies should have to apologize for not being ready for an unprecedented terrorist attack on U.S. soil that our national intelligence agencies weren't even ready for.
Hundreds of police officers and firemen died on 9/11 trying to save the people in the twin towers. Doesn't anybody remember their sacrifice? How can these 9/11 family members disrespect the very people who tried to save their loved ones?
It makes me sick. These people should be focusing their anger on the people actually responsible for the attacks.
