NYC Firefighters Critique Giuliani on 9/11

Was traveling and just saw this. The firefighters are critical of the no-bid contracts for communications equipment let by Giuliani, which ended up not working very well. Also other issues.

No bid contracts? Where have I heard that before?. (Scroll down to “Big Success in Iraq”.)

Filed Under: al-Qaeda
