A spokesman for the Clinton administration, which had done so much to build up Arafat’s reputation as a statesman, termed Giuliani’s action "an embarrassment to everyone associated with diplomacy."...Former mayors David Dinkins and Ed Koch held a joint press conference to denounce Giuliani. "Mayor Giuliani has behavioral problems dealing with other people," Koch told reporters."...Thanks for posting that Peach, I would have missed Rudy deciding he was Lord and Master of NYC had you not posted that.

Uhh, he was the mayor. I'd disagree with Dinkins and Koch on this, Rudy saved the city the expense of police escorts for a terrorist. He got it right.

Since you disagree, you have a problem. Hunter and Gingrich would certainly look like Rudy on this one, they recognize terror. McCain likely would too, Thompson would be speculation. But it's fair to say the entire stable of Republican candidates are potentially formidable on the WOT.

My guess either Hillary or Obama would be more likely to welcome a terrorist leader with open arms and the key to the city.

At least you've got a candidate to support on the issue, since neither Dinkins nor Koch are running.
