Battalion Chief Jim Riches was there saving lives on 9-11. As a battalion chief he knows waht went wrong. It isn’t something he read about in a book or in the paper.
His son and many of his fellow firefighters are dead because of Rudy’s management and judgement failures. It’s not mean-spirited to point to those failures in a man who is trying to be president. The public should know about Rudy’s judgement and management ability.
Just because a union that backed Rudy twice, and backed Bush twice, is helping get the message out doesn’t mean the message is wrong, or that they are all liberals.
That’s true. It’s equally true that just because a guy saved lives on 9-11 doesn’t mean he knows enough to trash Rudy. He may or may not.
