Firefighters Blast Giuliani
The country's largest firefighters union has taken presidential candidate and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to task over his "egregious acts" following 9/11. Giuliani, now the front-runner for the GOP nomination, draws almost all of his popularity from his post-9/11 performance.

AS CHAOS UNFOLDS, FIND SOLID GROUND…AP:
In a letter to its members Friday, the International Association of Fire Fighters excoriated Giuliani for his November 2001 decision to cut back the number of firefighters searching the rubble of Ground Zero for the remains of some 300 fallen comrades.
The 280,000-member union accused him of carelessly expediting the cleanup process with a “scoop-and-dump” operation after the recovery of millions of dollars in gold, silver and other assets from the Bank of Nova Scotia that had been buried.
Giuliani’s campaign insisted that he respects and supports first responders.
