NEW YORK — A radical group at a Bronx fundraiser confronted Rudolph Giuliani
on Tuesday morning, accusing him of being one of the “criminals of 9/11.”

The Republican candidate for president was outside City Island’s Sea Shore
restaurant in the Bronx, speaking with WNBC.com’s Adam Shapiro about his fundraising
in New York.

Afterward, a young woman claiming to be the relative of a Sept. 11, 2001, firefighter
who died when the towers collapsed, asked Giuliani why he allegedly told Peter
Jennings the towers would fall that day, but did not stop the rescue efforts
of firefighters and police officers.

The woman claims Giuliani knew the towers would fall, and allowed rescuers
to go to their deaths. She asked him, “How do you sleep at night?”

Giuliani was extremely polite, telling the young woman she was wrong and that
he never said what she claimed. At that point, another protester from her group,
a young man, interrupted Giuliani with the same allegations.

Giuliani replied by saying, “I didn’t realize the towers would collapse.”
He later added, “No one that I know of had any idea they would implode.
That was a complete surprise.”

WNBC has obtained the transcript of Giuliani’s appearance with Jennings, from
the Giuliani 2008 campaign. This is the verbatim of the issue in question:

“I–I went down to the scene and we set up headquarters at 75 Barkley
Street, which was right there with the police commissioner, the fire commissioner,
the head of emergency management, and we were operating out of there when
we were told that the World Trade Center was going to collapse. And it did
collapse before we could actually get out of the building, so we were trapped
in the building for 10, 15 minutes, and finally found an exit and got out,
walked north, and took a lot of people with us.”

We worked with the 9/11 Families to pressure the Bush administration to convene an investigation into the deadliest attacks on US soil since Pearl Harbor. We attended many of the commission hearings and questioned commissioners and bird-dogged elected officials to get answers to the Unanswered Questions that remain so to this day.

We reported the contradictions, lies and omissions on the public record. 911Truth.Org staff have given hundreds of interviews on radio and mainstream network TV.
