Giuliani's Illusion

The Village Voice runs a piece by Wayne Barrett, co-author of Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11, on the five myths -- or "big lies" as Barrett prefers -- about Giuliani's experience fighting terrorism.
"Nearly six years after 9/11, Rudy Giuliani is still walking through the canyons of lower Manhattan, covered in soot, pointing north, and leading the nation out of danger's way. The Republican frontrunner is campaigning for president by evoking that visual at every campaign stop, and he apparently believes it's a picture worth thousands of nights in the White House."
But it's getting him in trouble. Just yesterday, the New York Post notes Giuliani exaggerated his presence at Ground Zero after the attacks of September 11.

The Politicker covers how he's now trying to contain the damage.
