The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has come out strongly against former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani: "Rudy has used the horrible events of September 11 [2001] to create a persona that is an elaborate fabrication," says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. "He is nothing more than a shameless self-promoter." They have produced a short video documenting his failure of leadership, his rush to "cleanup" the site, and his lies to the 911 Commission.

They stop short of saying that he was an accessory to the crime, including the destruction of evidence and the subsequent coverup.
