He was a very stand-up guy on 9/11. I distinctly remember that ABC radio reporter make a lot of insinuations during the time when the President was moving from place to place that he didn't know where he was going or what he was doing. After she had to get off the air because the planes were taking off, Ed Koch was on the air saying that the reporterette was way off base, that it wasn't her place to know what the President's plans were, etc. I was really impressed that he said on-air that the reporter was way out of line.
