MEXICO CITY Giuliani spent a day-and-a-half in January 2003 touring Mexico City's danger and tourist zones, protected by a motorcade of a dozen bulletproof SUV's, 400 officers, and a helicopter. He was mobbed and cheered a Giuliani aide told The NY Sun. Two years later, the cheering has stopped. In January 2005, Mexico City police chief told local reporters, "I am no fan of Giuliani." Monica Rojas, then-deputy director of the statistics department of the Mexico City police department said "The ideas and the concepts they conveyed to us, but they never explained how to achieve them." "They were not prepared, not at all," said another former Mexico police official. "They weren't consultants, they were retired policemen. And they were trying to organize another police force, but not with a methodology or a clear idea."

CONSTRUCTON OF TRADE ROAD IN MEXICO

Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas (properties for the "trade road" were obtained by eminent domain) DALLAS (March 1, 2007) Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Texas-based law firm with global connections) advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties ("trade road" is four football fields wide). The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation. Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million. "Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country."

I really don’t see what Rudy is any good at, except inflating his value. The idea that this is what was selected for us as a candidate is more than frightening.

Why oh why did I KNOW this would be one of Rooty's recommended crime fighting tactics....
32. Control of drug distribution should be enhanced; seize homes, vehicles ..
Good ole Rooty, the guy just can't help himself. Still seizing property like when he was King of NYC - even before any trial or if the person is later found not guilty.

Not a bad thing at all; it tells what Guiliani really is. If Mexican neighbors were so easily screwn by Guiliani, it shows how easily he'd not mind working over his neighbors here. It's the law of relativity at play.
