Giuliani Remembers
In the interview with Larry King, Giuliani speaks of the attack on September 11th. I believe that CNN paid for Giuliani to come speak with Larry King. I detect a slant, when Giuliani says that "We're going to get attacked. We better get ready for a number of attacks, you know, suicide bombings and other kinds of attacks."
